Cheap 28mm oil drums, jerrycans, etc.

[FramFramson]

I'm sure there are lots of manufacturers of these but I'm hoping there's someone out there that has a set with different types of containers that I can just buy all in one go, rather than buying jerrycans in one place, oil barrels in another. Hopefully cheaply. Bonus points if the set contains some hollow oil drums.

Anyone know of any?

Ditto, Tamiya 1/48. More than you will probably ever need actually.

Pegasus Hobbies does a set of oil drums - around 56mm I'd say...I haven't picked any up myself, but reasonably priced, pre-paints.

Tamiya set looks perfect. Jerry cans are not strrrrictly accurate for 1935, but I don't really care.   

Thanks guys!

well, You did not specify 1935

the set contains 3 different styles of can - half is the german original which was developed 1937, and the other two quarters are the British and the US copy, which of course came later. I never saw the british square based version or the german with triangular cross-section in 28 mm ever....
but the square one should be easy to make....

No no, it's okay. I actually want jerrycans because people who are unfamiliar with the history know and recognize jerrycans.

That way I don't have to explain why a pile of mysteriously-triangular cans is a fuel/water objective:



I do try to get things right in terms of historical accuracy, but I'm pretty okay with letting this slide.

to be honest, apart from flimsies and the strange triangular things I would not know how canisters looked like before jerrycans

[FramFramson]

Exactly!

Black Dog 1/48 stuff.

The jerry cans are on the large side, but the other accessories are really spot on!!
