Belly tank cars

[ChrisR]

California Model Works did a very nice one in resin.

Sadly it is no longer available.

Does any one know of a source for a 1/24-25th belly tanker kit?

Back to your original question. I was looking at this one a while back but didn't pull the trigger.
I haven't bought from these folks in the past so check the forum for comments about them.

Here is the P38 large tank drawn in 1/24 scale.    It scales out to 13 feet, 6 inches long and 36 inches in diameter.    The ladder frame is like the one used by the Lakester.     You can see the shape difference to my homedrawn example in red.   I will share the files with anyone that wants them or I can print one if anyone is interested.

KK and I (mostly me) made the tank out of the top halves of the old Monogram Long John drag car (turned around backwards) and a vacuformed nose cone for a rocket (Estes?).
