In fact, I could stand to flip it for the right price.
You put a bundle into that beauty and obviously a lotta time+toils.

Nice job

Thanks for the nice words.
Jim, I gave my painter a NOS oil tank as an example and nobody knows how he mixed the colours. The only thing he told us that he paint like they did in the 70ties and no water paint and something modern. The decals are from Rick Brett.

All the best from Germany
Ralf
