Hey Ron another thing you might want to consider Ive seen several 1:1 cars where the NOS bottles werent the factory color but painted to match the area they were installed....Most places will not accept these painted bottles for refill or exchange them but some places will I know EuroTune here will....

NOS bottles also come in different sizes...so if you have a spare NASCAR kit that you dont mind robbing parts from grab it...dig out the fire extinguisher that gets mounted in the car and paint it blue or whatever color you want....I know of quite a few cars in town that run NOS but have them mounted in out of the way places that cant be seen....most of them use the minis...instead of the common NOS jug...
Just something to think about!

If you look at the hot rod mags you will see that NOS systems bottles are all blue. So if you do as I have done in the past and take a 3/8 dowell and stick it in a drill motor. then with a file and some sand paper you shape it you will have a nicely shaped NOS bottle. Use some micro clear and take the NOS logo from a magazine that fits and glue it on. this is if no decals are available. and you got all you need. I have built all kinds of things from scratch and I like it . I use but am opposed in useing photo etched parts. for me it takes all the fun out.

Have a great day

I wish I had a scanner, I scratch built my own nitrous tank out if an old bomb and strip styrene, looks better than the supplied tank! By the way check out www.mechahawaii.com.
