I know lately there have been a lot of items in regard to drink cartons/ boxes. Are there any soda cans and bottles to have laying around that are 35th scale?

The Academy HMMWV and M113 kits, along with the Tamiya M1A1/A2 kit come with water bottles. Accurate Armour also does a couple water bottle sets in clear, transparent green, and transparent blue.
The Tamiya PBR has some Coke cans and decals for them, but that is about it. The cans can be easily made from some plastic rod or thin sprue runners.

Aye...there's the rub....decals. I guess I could get by with a red and a touch of white. It would be great to find some for Viet Nam era which would be that old Coke diamond pattern. Hey all you decal entrepenuer's out there, might be a cool idea to make beer and soda can decals for WW2, Nam and Modern. Put 'em all on one sheet. Sell a ton of them I'll bet Of course licsening from Coke or whomever might be a bit costly.

There are some in Tamiya's M113 ACAV kit as well (along with cigarettes packs)

Not if they spell it incorrectly, and change to logo slightly.

I sent this idea to our own Gator (kenny Loup) He has the licensing stuff covered alwready. Maybe a show of interest here might inspire him to do this. He does the Gator masks. Mainly ships ...and boy you oughta see what he has done with that genre
I would love to get some of those decals mentioned in the Tamiya kits, however, as I already have an acav 113 and no interest in a Pibber, it is not worth the cost of the kit just to get the decals. Now if someone were to accidently drop the sheet into a scanner and accidently send me a copy trogh an email at [email protected], well I'll never tell
