That's soooo cool ! The Heller Bugatti T50 wheels really suit it too

Re: Belly-Tank Racer 1/24

I love it! I've forever wanted to build a belly tanker but haven't been able to find a kit in 1:24 and lack the ingenuity to do it from scratch! I love this build! Keep on it, and keep sharing!!

Kits are easy to come by and are great



You can get them from Hapico in the US http://www.hapico.com/ Look in the 1/24 Kits section The red and yellow tankers where built and photographed by Dale King.
