Hello everyone,

I am just wondering if there are any after market companies out there would make resin fuel drums for 1/35 scale. I have a T-72M2 and T-72G/M both from Dragon. The stock fuel drums are a nightmare. Any suggestions on an after market company would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks
Ken

Don't know about any AM fuel drums for the T-72, but if you're planning to build an Operation Desert Storm tank, I have seen pics showing one fitted with civilian fuel drums...

Hi;

There is No AM set for Fuel Drums, the Fuel Drums are on Parr with the Rest of there kits. So just OOB and Do The Best You Can, And Good Luck.

It's rare that they would be carrying the fuel drums anyway, so you could definitely get away not even mounting them if you wanted to.

The only set I know of is the CMK upgrade set for the T-72. It has resin drums with P/E ends and a resin tarp covering 1 drum. Its a nice set and has a lot of general detail pcs.

Want to thank all of you for your input, I will check into the CMK set. If it is too expensive I will deal with the stock drums.

Thanks again everyone.

Ken
