Mike - I was thinking along the same lines for the springs.

Sorry no - I remember the Dinky toys but I don't think I ever saw the tank.
If you're winding your own springs from copper wire you can get much better results by annealing the copper. To anneal copper heat it to red hot and plunge it into cold water. The difference this makes when you're winding springs is really worth it. Annealing also gets rid of the coating found on most copper wire so it's easier to paint/colour the wire.
