Rusty, paintless and cracked. Lesney Matchbox 11B ERF Petrol Tanker Diecast Restoration

[@kjamison5951]

What a super result, Johan!
Bending such small models is always a risk and using heat to ease the metal is a great step.
The paint job is fantastic!
Good work on that blue wheel. Thank you for sharing your work!

That is fantastic, Johan.I love tankers,have some 50 or so in various scales.As it happens,not one of these!Having seen your resto,I'm tempted to 'have a go' at one.

Thanks! As you can see they are very simple little models. I was expecting to have trouble with bending that cab back, but the biggest struggle was getting that decal to follow the curve of the rear lid.
