Hey all-
Just wondering if there are any modern stowage items (eg. jerry cans, etc.) in 1:72 scale. Yes, I understand I said I was against AMS but the aftermarket cans would give me more time to work on scratchbuilding my aav. So I guess that cancels out the effect of AMS, doesn't it? Anyways, thanks in advance.

Legend Productions has a new set out.
There are a very few stowage items put out by other companies that may work.

Legends makes a set for the Revell M2A2 Bradley that includes CIP panels and external racks as seen in OIF photos. Runs about $8.
Verlinden makes a set of modern stowage that is pictured piled on top of the Revell Bradley. I bought one of these sets and while they are OK, I would have rather bought the Legend set if I had seen it first. Runs about $10. I received another set in a trade.
If you really want to get ridiculous, I can point you in the direction of several aftermarket retailers that specialize in 1/72 scale photoetch detail sets and aluminum barrels. Yes, they make barrels for the M2A2 Bradley and Marder 1A3 as well. The PE sets run the gambit of basic "zoom-type" sets to "Aber-like" sets. Good eyes, steady hands and nerves of steel are recommended.

Hi Guys,
I too have been wanting to get hold of stowage stuff for my 1/72 projects.
Sabot,
I would be very much interested on knowing the retailers. Can I order on-line?
Thank,

Check out Squadron or Hannants in UK.
I've found both give excellent service and have massive stocks of everything you can think of.
Hope it helps
