Where did you get the tank?

From that overpriced bicyclebones ebay guy.It came as you see it so it saved me a paint job at least lol.
I tried to find an original but couldnt find one.

yeah i feel ya man.I think a decent original tank would cost as much or more,saw a cool red one go higher recently.I wanted the wing tank so this saved me some cash,the stencil kit is pricey.
