Hey gents,
I was wondering if there is a company that make ammo cans and wood crates for the M252 81mm mortar system. I have seen Live Resin but it the 81mm round in the carrier tube. Thanks.

That is VERY odd. We were just discussing these on another thread a few hours ago.
I have a couple of those sets I bought just to get the extra cans.

I absolutely spaced out while we were discussing the ones I have, as to where they came from. I guess they're US after all as they're exactly like the ones in the Trumpeter kit. Hint: Tamiya Roof Brown is the perfect shade.

I need a lot more of them. The 1/35 scale ones, that is. I'm thinking of casting some up. If I do I'll let you know and you can have them for free.

Alex, thanks i will try to see if i can find that set.
Robert, same here i just need to get one wood and the metal one plus the PA156 can. I want to cast them too. I need them for my replica AAV i had during the invasion of Iraq 03. My section carried 81s so my track was packed with Alum, Smoke and HE rounds. Thanks guys

If you're serious about casting them yourself, send me your address and I'll send you the parts for a wooden box and a metal one. And a packing tube as well. You'll probably get around to it before I will.
