Hi guys

Can anyone tell me where I can find British Jerry can holders ? I'm converting Tamiya's Willys jeep into a British Airborne Jeep and I need three holders to complete it. I've been looking at different P.E. sets but I can't tell by looking at pictures of the sets of what they have.
Thanks in advance
Harry

Hi Harry,

Resicast do 6 different para Jeep conversion kits for the Tamiya jeep. You can view them here.

Of the 6 only one seems to have jerry cans. If this is the version you are working on then they also do an accessory set of US type jerry cans and holders.

The other maker to check out would be Accurate Armour at

They have a couple of different types of British Jerry Cans. I think the smaller type come in a rack affair.

Sorry this might not be very helpful but it's the best I can do for now.

Which specific conversion are you working on?

Finally and this might be your best option Ultracast do the 2 gal water/petrol cans in mounted racks.

See:

Cheers
