Hi,

Maybe this is a silly question, but I want to know if it would be ok to use this Voyager Model kit:

To replace the water and fuel cans in a Canadian Grizzly.

I got some photoetch and I don't trust in my hands to remove the strap and base molded in the kit's parts.

Yes, good for fuel cans only, water cans had a different cap.

Do you know about some aftermarket kit with the right water cans?

I guess I can put two fuel cans, but if I'm going to spend some money, I would prefer to do so buying the right stuff.

There are many sources for modern plastic water jerry cans....Tamiya, Italeri, Pro Art Models, Real Model, Legend Productions to name a few.

The modern water jerry cans should be the single handle version and are commonly found in detail sets and accessory packs of a variety of modern detail and update sets.
Plastic water cans have been pretty much the same since they were first developed in the 1970s.

Perfect scale has both sets. they look good as the pour plug runs along the back not the bottom so you get the bottom detail

I've seen many parts, but all of them for US cans. Nothing Canada specific. Maybe the real question is if US cans would do the trick.

My favourites are the Live Resin cans. Not exactly the Canadian issue (still say 20L though!) but they are accurate Scepter cans. Not like you can read the fine print anyway!
