M35 MILITARY TRUCK 1/10th SCALE GAS TANK

thingiverse

Scaling down the gas tank to fit the M35 military truck's 1/10th scale chassis requires careful measurement and modification. To begin, measure the original gas tank's dimensions to determine the size it needs to be reduced to. Next, calculate the ratio of reduction by dividing the desired scale size by the original dimension. For example, if the original gas tank is 20 inches long and you want a 1/10th scale version, the new length would be 2 inches. Apply this ratio to each dimension of the gas tank, making sure to maintain its original proportions. If the original tank has a diameter of 8 inches, the scaled-down version would have a diameter of 0.8 inches. Use a 3D modeling software or a computer-aided design (CAD) program to create a digital model of the reduced gas tank. This will allow you to visualize and make any necessary adjustments before printing or fabricating the part.
