    No. I made it out of sheet styrene. The filler neck is from a sprue of Roco details. Remember, in most cases, the tanks have a rubber barrier between it and whatever it's bolted to. Again, styrene I painted flat black. There's no wrong way to do it my friend. Use your imagination and I...

    My latest contribution loosely based on a prototype of an International on an auction site. It's not 100%, but worth showing as I'm moving on to other projects for now.
