I agree, those clamp details are impressive.

I looked and realized that my tank should be thrown into the trash.......
Fabulous!
I haven’t worked with the T-55A for a long time, work distracts me from my hobby...
If you wish, I can post some photos of the original here...
We use slightly different clamps...

Hi, Pavel! I know how tough it is sometimes when I compare my meager accomplishments to the likes of Martin2556's. But don't be discouraged: you can always do better than me. :haha: In the US (maybe in the UK and elsewhere, I am not sure) we call the kind of clamps in your photo "muffler clamps." I don't know the correct term for the type of clamps Martin2556 created, but I would be delighted if I had the skill and could see well enough to create any clamps by myself.

I didn't bother...
And as they usually do in the field...
I just twisted it with wire, I don’t have enough health to do such little things, the wing clamp stopped me... I just can’t start assembling it..

Yes, for those who didn't believe...
This is really a board, not an iron sheet.

This is such exceptional work. I am in awe of your fine detail work. Just basecoat or primer there? It looks amazing. I could never do this especially with anything I'd drive around the yard. Heaven forbid anything got damaged and or lost.

Martin2556: you made all those little handles and clamps and fuel lines and electric lines and light protectors!? Are you a jeweler? Whew! Pavel and MrChef are right! What skill!
