I'm sure you can find some at Squadron by Legend, Verlinden or others. I have a few and have to agree with Ian. The plastic Italeri ones are the best I've seen and you get a whole lot more for your money.

The NEW set from Tamiya is pretty good, too. NOT the old crappy set, the NEW one (number 35186).

I used to think that Italeri's were the best until I got A.P Bayardi and Royal Model Jerry Cans. Neither resin set(s) cost a ton of money - and are excellent products. I haven't used an Italeri plastic Jerry Can in years...

Just my thoughts...

Hey godfather,
I agree with gunnie...Armand Bayardi makes some truely amazing fuel cans. Plus, he offers them two ways: intact and damaged. Here's a picture of them plus some more of his stuff:



You can get his stuff from Sentinal and from Michigan Toy Soldiers, among others. Just do a Google search for "Armand Bayardi"

I have a lot of his products and they are out of this world!
Hope this helps
