Well,
No, no, and... ummm no.
I didn't have a prototype in mind other than what I wanted it to look like.
So, it's not modeled after any specific type of tanker. Some of the busy thing
help to hide all the blue Macaroni pieces in the construction of the actual
tank, which I thought was better than *all* the holes.
I liked using the wagon plate because it made it easier for me to do what I
wanted to do. If I had had some black shot wagon plates, I would have used
some of them.
Thanks for your comments. They are always greatly appreciated and welcomed
(even though I may not act on them).
