NOS Tank

[KBryan67]

Hi everyone,

  So I been thinking about building another 1/25 scale car, kinda off a one of a kind/won't find in store type of thing, not sure what. I'm gonna go through a few kits I have, some complete some not. Go through all my extra parts. I have an idea of what I want to do. I wanna do like a hot rod/dragster with maybe a engine that has blower sticking out kinda thing. I may have to make some of the engine parts but not sure yet till I go through parts.

  I know the engine I'm gonna have to piece together but any ideas on where to get 1/25 scale NOS tanks or even idea what to make one or two out of?

Looked on eBay but they want to much.

You could use some plastic tubing from say Plastruct, many Hobby Shops should have what you need.  Another possibility would be to look for any old ball point pens that have gone dry. Many have shapes that can be made to look like a NOS tank.

I think some of the drag racer kits may have fire extinguishers that could be modified to look like nitrous bottles

Thanks for feedback guys, didn't think of ball point pen idea...lol

AMT Rescue van and Police van have a large fire extinguisher that if shortened is perfect for a NOS Bottle.  I have 2 if you need one.

The AMT Fast & Furious orange Supra has two NOS bottles in a rack that sits under the rear hatch.

I can see the fire extinguisher tank being turned into nos tank OLDMOPARS. What do u want for one of them?

  So I went through my stuff today and think I know what I'm gonna use to build my hot roddish/dragsterish truck. Have a kit incomplete that's a truck n have frame, body, bed and most everything. Appears to be missing inner cab compartment so I will probably scratch build one and do some modifications to other stuff.

  I have tons of tires and a few wide slicks for back but I would like to put on wide, wide but can't seem to find any online. Anyone know where to find any? I attached a pick of what width of tire I would like to get as an example. Slicks I have are probably half the width or maybe a hair more as of one in pick.

   Thanks guys
