you can spray it as one unit but the purists here would probably say it gets a better job taking it apart ! But remember all the bits may need to come off wooden block jack c hook etc.

Hi Edd. Welcome aboard!

It really depends on what you have in mind...

Sounds to me like you just want to spruce her up a bit. If so there's no real need to take the tank apart - just remove the tracks and away you go.

However opening is easy enough: there are a series of screws under the side sponsors and on the bottom of the tank. Take these out and the top just pops off...
