Hi Ron,
Your finish is very convincing. I really looks like steel, not plastic or resin.
Nice work

Hi Lee. thanks for the comments, below is a link to a thread which shows a step by step of a finish i did on a JSU-122 which basically covers the procedure i used on this tank the only major difference would be i used van dyke brown oil paint for the filter and not yellow ochre hope this helps and feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Ron.
