Inspired by a trip to the WHR I would like to model the water tank at Caernarfon.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any available etches for the ironwork under the tank. I have detailed photographs so could probably scratchbuild it but, given my skills set, a more satisfactory result would be obtained from something already available !

I have attached a photo of the tank

Thanks

I would  scratch build it using brass K&S pipe & .9mm wire as the ring with the 4 rods going to it would look wrong as a etch

I cant see how any of the parts in the Airfix kit would be useful in making anything that looks like the one you intend to model.
But if all you want is a large water tank then go for it. :-)
