Can anybody suggest a maker or AM set that would be suitable for extra rear mounted fuel drums as found on T-55/62/72/80 and chinese tanks?

Thanks in advance

OK after much error in word searching, Barrel doesn't seem right the right word, Drum seems to be.


Ok seems both Russian and Chinese both use a 200L tank, err drum. But I'm seeing two types first with hole at the end other with hole mid drum, IS the hole mid drum more accurate the more common drum that just has a hole at the end or is either OK?

Hi Andrew;

There is a AM company that makes the Drums for different vehicles, and they offer both the Chinese and Soviet versions. But at this moment, I cant remember who they are.
You mite try; Lucky Models or Hobby Easy !!

GOOD LUCK; MIKE.

Trumpeter, IIRC, has made the fuel drums. Will check at home tonight.

Thanks for the suggestion mokush. They look good and generic enough to do for Russian as well as not an extravagant price.

Yup, Bronco not Trumpeter. They are indeed nice and generic.

Hi to all, I´m not sure, if fuel-drums and oil-drums are the same style or type.
But, for me, they look a bit "identical".

I´m not sure, if they´re used for both purposes.

greetings...
