thanks but too small

thanks tony and vx, i had seen the pontoon one on ebay, i’m affraid it is too far gone and too small.
i had not seen the polish p51 tank, that tank is beautiful, lovely patina and it does not worry me that it is in poland but it also is too small at seven feet long. i need at least 12ft, the p.38 is around 13′ 6″. ideal.
i am still not exactly sure of the size of canberra tip tanks but they do look to be large enough.
the search goes on, thanks again guys, i know something will come up one day. joe.

thanks…

thanks to all of you who have responded to this thread, i have had a couple of leads but nothing solid as yet however, through this thread i have been enlightened to canberra wing tip tanks, these have the correct appearance, have some good age and are made (i think) of the correct material, aluminium. i intend to now search for a canberra tip tank, if any of you guys can help with any pointers where to continue my search i would appreciate it greatly.
if anyone could help me with some dimensions and/or capacity of a canberra tip tank and also confirm if they were made from aluminium that would be most helpful. thankyou.

belly tanks

thankyou guys for all your responses and help, i am aware of the fibreglass repro tanks but just can’t bring myself to go down that road, i am the same with my cars, they have to be real.
as for p.38 tanks coming on ebay for $3k, if this ever happens again i would love know about it, i could almost make that happen but i have only ever seen them fetch way more than that.
now the canberra tip tanks do sound very interesting, i have googled some pictures and the shape looks good, if anyone out there knows where i could start my search for one of these i would appreciate hearing from them. also, what length and diameter canberra tip tanks are.
once again, thanks for everyones helpful comments, joe.
