I mean in terms of the tanks dimensions not the obvious holding capacity. general estimates are fine, as in the size of a car/44 gallon drum etc...

You would need a tank about the size of a house (55ft cube) unless you compress the air then it would be much smaller.

Tank volume depends on at what pressure you store air as per formula P1xV1 = P2xV2, Thus tank holding volume will reduce if more pressure is used, If you are using 10 bar pressure, volume will be 160,00 CF.
If you consider cylindrical tank dia as 20ft, then Tank length will be approx.51 feet.

No one can tells you exactly how big the tank is. It depends on air pressure, and air temp. then one can design the materials for your tank

160,000 = 80*50*40, very large house, small office building
160,000)(14.7/2014.7) = 1167.419467 ft^3 @ 2000 psig
r = 3.337, h = 33.37 or r = h = 7.1894 ft
