[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 3673, member: 456"] Some time ago I made a fibreglass 'mask' to fit the top of 'B' and 'C' tanks. The edge of this was made completely symetrical so that by laying the tape (or if you are artistic enough painting) round the outer edge of this one got a symmetrical set of lines. The dimensions were taken from Eddie Stevens article in MPH a few years ago. At the time I measured a tank which was known not to have been repainted from new. The width of the lines was 5 mm and at the rear of the tank one side differed from the other by about 3/4". Not surprising for hand drawn lines. The problem is how to get this mask to you and to ensure that it is returned. One has already gone walk about. Are you, and your tank, likely to be at the All Fools Meet? [/QUOTE]
