You aren't kidding! ;D Cool project
I know.......lol.
What's the story on the AR on the wall?
Took me a while for the seizures to stop.
Do you have a slightly slower version that shows the steps you have to take, such as the flange down the spine and the tunnel and bungs and filler cap? That would be instructive to many of us that might think about making a one off tank but probably never will.
Yes, the second video listed. The fuel filler is from Aircraft Spruce. A bond on or bolt on. :)

LOL, I wish! Those are all Airsoft rifles. We have skunk and Racoon families every year, that are raiders of our pond we have to run off.

Thanks John,
That is one sh!t load of work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, and yes it is! I was actually already to a finishing stage before, but started over so to show the full process. Yes, I'm crazy!
J, You are crazy my friend, now we know what you have been up to since we have been down!!
Can't wait to hang out at Deal's gap again with you!
Chuck

You are fast! :-) Nice job.
That looks really nice John - reminds me of a Suzuki Stinger but with more pronounced style lines.
Wow, that's beautiful John! :clap:
Most excellent! 8)

Good eye! :righteous: The stinger tank is one of the prettiest tank I personally have ever seen. So I did absolutely use it as a model.

Great result, just goes to show with time and patience anything is achievable.
Well done JA-Moo.
Also nice the recognisable members from the old forum.
Thanks guys! :clap:
I forgot to put up the finished paint job......

Gorgeous, man. Seriously.
Enjoyed the vid John and survived it seizure free! :righteous: I agree, love the shape and lines of the lovely Suzuki Stinger tank. Will you have it on your bike for DG in a couple of weeks? Great work! See you soon!
Thanks again guys!
And this is for a project build of mine, so won't be done for a year or so, Evans.
