What a crime!

I found this while doing more unpacking and sorting. I think I got this in the same box that my Testors P-39 and Cox .15 Comanche were in, but I can’t say for sure. What I can say for sure is that this is a crime. Apparently, back in the days of the Space Bug (’52-’58), people who didn’t want to buy a Thermal Hopper would butcher their Space Bug to use an external tank.
Hopefully, the norm was to do a better job than this. I guess I’ll have to do some work with some jeweler’s files to see if I can correct this hack job and make it presentable.

Got an idea to take you from the crime scene to probate. 
With a little cleanup and your own improvised mounting system, (and a decent backdrop - aircraft or test stand to demonstrate its potential use) I think you'd have something unique that could be a potential Cox Engine of the Month winner!

that is a Shame to take a Space Bug tank and cut it up for what looks like a nipple that want hold a fuel hose very well if at all ? 
I guess it suited it purpose at one time and its not a Real Bad job of removing the material .
