anyone konw who sells 1/35 scale buckets, i’m thinking the buckets you see on the back of a panzers. I guess they would have to be photo etched?
cheers
There are plenty of companies that offer buckets (plastic, resin, etc). Tamiya comes to mind… look for field accessory types of kits. I would absolutely wager that there are many cottage outfits that produce just the buckets too.
Good luck with the search
Make one! Either out of foil or plastic. Heat plastic and then plunge mold it over the end of a dowel. Anneal foil and do the same by burnishing it into shape over the dowel. Add wire handle. Buckets were beaten and bent so they don’t have to be perfect in shape.
Large buckets can be made out of those coffee cream containers at restaurants. Cut down to size add handle.
Look around the house at small caps and covers that might be suitable.
RB Model have a metal bucket.

There used to be a set of buckets and cans that an AM company put out----maybe Custom Dioramics? Anyhow, I don’t think I’ve seen one in stock for years…some kits by Dragon come with a nice PE bucket: their Initial Tiger and the classic Mid-Production Tiger I w/ the Wittman box-art. I used that one to sling on the rear of my KT:
I would avoid injection-molded buckets as they typically are molded way too thick…probably scrtaching one from thick sheet foil or thin aluminum is your best bet, and add a wire handle…sometimes you can find a resin one that even has water already cast in that looks pretty good as well…here is a resin bucket—not sure where I got it:
