I dont really know what the sizes refer to as they dont match actual measured internal or external dimensions. It is probably taken from old copper and steel water pipes which were imperial and then given the closest metric size. There is also different wall thicknesses for different applications so the outside diameter can vary.The large ones are made from 25mm end caps which have a real outside diameter of 39mm superglued to a piece of 32mm pipe, the next size up, which has had a thin slice taken out of it and squeezed together to make a smaller diameter to match the end caps. The actual diameter of 32mm pipe is about 42mm. The smaller tanks are made from 15mm end caps (actual OD 27mm) superglued to the next size up pipe 20mm which matched close enough to the diameter of the "15mm" end caps.<br />I am considering some extra detail to fill in the gap between the wheels on the chassis and making a space helmet of some kind for the driver figure.<br />Thanks for reading and taking the trouble to comment.munghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833483639783575804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890495395884654748.post-66383229245534165382015-07-15T09:15:51.098+08:002015-07-15T09:15:51.098+08:00Coming together very well!
Those side tanks, are...Coming together very well! <br /><br />Those side tanks, are the just plumbers end caps? If so, what size are they, they look great.<br /><br />Are you planning on dressing up the exposed chassis between the wheels? <br /><br />The driver & cockpit turned out great, will look fantastic one it's all painted up.<br /><br />Cheers.Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.com
