styromaniac Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Same story here Alan...as a 6 and 7 year old I remember those little bagged Airfix kits of brass era antique cars molded in red plastic...then I progressed onto the Pyro Tabletop series ( multi piece bodies ) as well as the Aurora 1/32 kits with the cool box art scenes ( Wolf Wagon, Ram Rod, Shiftin Drifter ). One of those kits and a couple of tiny bottles of Testors or Pactra paints and you were good to go. The wheels on my belly tanker are temporarily fixed in place...still culling through the boxes deciding on the final look. Have some detailing yet to do on the interior as well....but my initial question of the possibility of stuffing parts into a 1/32 scale drop tank seems to have been answered. Stay safe down under.

Paul Payne Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Steve, I got the upper body and belly pan in a trade. The belly pan was too damaged to restore, so that is from Norm. Everything else is scratchbuilt or from the parts box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Nice work in any scale. I seem to notice a few more belly tankers showing up on the forums lately. Maybe there's a trend developing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styromaniac Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 Decided my 1/32nd scale Belly Tanker could use a shop truck and trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
