Tamiya comes with a set that includes pails if i'm not wrong.

Or if you have extra money to spare, try PE.

Pails? Not sure of kits specially of pails but a few Tamiya kits come with pail extras. I make use of a lot of pails in my dios but those are all extras. U can try making them using thin styrene or cardboard. Roll it up to form a conical shape, cut a small circle for the bottom and glue it on. Then spray the whole thing aluminium. All my pails I prefer to use thin wires as the handle instead of the provided handle. Their handles look too thick and not to scale.

Thanks guys... the scratch built method is worth a shot... but time is a constraint... I'll go scouting for "pails" when I have the time... :-)
