In the latest Tamiya Jeep set, there are two 'canisters', one that sits down by the drivers foot pedals (yellow/gold colour), and the other on the outside next to the right front wheel. This one is a greyish colour.

Anyone have any ideas what these where used for?

Thanks,
Harry

The one by the driver's leg is the fire extinguisher. The grey one outside is the chemical warfare decontaminator. HTH

Thanks Roy. I thought one of them was a fire extinguisher.
But a chemical warfare decontaminator - sounds a bit dangerous! :-)

Sorry Rick, I was talking about the Jeep Willys - WW2
