Brian here is the drawing I used on the bash , I messed around with sizing till it was correct on length but the car is a bit narrow (by 6&1/4 inches) and short but by adding 1 scale foot to the end sills it is within 1/2 inch of the proto type . there are some minor differences I found between series the 1000 had wooden roof walks and from research some early ones had friction bearing trucks , later changed to roller bearing ( by later 1950's) .
the 1100 had metal roof walks with the ladders positioned differently .
couldn't find photo of the 1200 with roof walk also they had a clevis mounted on car and no poling pocket.
found no photos of 1000 with the 1200 but did find photos of 1100 with 1200 with no roof walks.
the tichy decals I have are for the 1000 series don't know if higher numbers are to be had .
as for tanks I plan on using a fine tipped paint pen to accent tank also will paint inside of the car black so when viewed from eye level you will be able to see through .
