Water Tank

[jka300]

I' m in the progress of making our fire department water truck but I hit a snag. I don't know what to use for the tank. I'm putting it on International 8600. www.ebay.ca/itm/FIRST-GEAR-IH-INTERNATIONAL-8600-TANDEM-AXLE-SEMI-TRUCK-DAY-CAB-1-64-HEIL-RED-/350529174876?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6199546486990310253 I'm streching the frame and the next step is the tank so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here I'd sell you this one I stripped off a old fire truck.

That's the exact trucks I use, but I use black and white. There easy to stretch but how would you stretch them. What do you do with them to stretch them and what material correctly???

Thanks but I just want a tank. I am pretty much building everything around it because there is cabinets and hose hangers. Also yours looks different then around the fenders.

Your question is abit confussing. I only had to stretch it alittle bit. I got some aluminum strips from my father's work. Imagine the shock when his 26 year old son asks for some metal cut for a model. The company he works for actually built the water tanker for our fire department. So I got pretty much all the blue prints and how they built it, even how they stretched the frame. I would post a picture of the stretched frame of my model but camera is broke . Most of the project will be made out of styrene though. I hope this answered yourquestion.
