Does anyone make resin oil drums for the back of 35th T-55s or 62s? Preferably ones that might have a dent or two in them? I was doing a couple African T-55s and thought that beat up drums would look good. Thanks

armand byardi (sp?) makes some pretty nice 1/35 beat up barrels in resin.

short of that, you're heating and bending the old Tamiya set or the kit barrels

I'm sure there are others out there, I'm just Jonsing to get back to the vendor room at AMPS and spend like it was 2001...

I saw this T-55 by Chirs Wauchop and it says that he used Lion Roar photo-etch set provided mesh for the rear deck vents and the two fuel drums and fittings on the rear of the vehicle.
