How I Saved My Broken Tank Model!

I unboxed this old kit built 50-plus years ago — but key pieces were missing. Instead of hunting for replacements, I designed and scratch-built the missing parts from raw materials: measuring, sketching, cutting, shaping, test-fitting, and finishing until everything clicked. This video walks through the full restoration process with practical shop tips, close-up fabrication shots, and the final reveal.
