Tank: revised and refined

Dsc_0041 Although the tank worked perfectly well from a functional perspective, I wasn't happy with the way it looked. To me it felt a bit jumbled, with a mix of steam and radio components jumbled together.

So I've revised the design, with the radio gear concealed underneath a metal deck, all the steam powerplant clearly on display and the engine exposed at the back.

The only thing left to do is spray up the model. I plan on a simple black and brass finish to integrate the components. And then it's on to the next project, a steam car.
