Hi Louis,
The correct name is Quonset hut, after the Naval Air Station at Quonset Point, Rhode Island. The design was based on the earlier British Nissen Hut. I've seen N scale and HO scale versions listed on Ebay and Italeri made a a 1/72 scale kit which may be still available. I'm not sure about other scales.
Cheers,
Dick

Italieri made a wooden guard tower years ago as part of its' diorama accessories; Masterbox has one with German sentries, a spotlight and field phone. Both of these are 1/35 scale.
