Does anyone know of a resin detail part or part from an existing kit for an Igloo water cooler ( the round, plastic orange kind with the pushbutton spigot at the bottom)? I am converting an AFV Club M35A2 6X6 into a civilian brush fire rig, and as a firefighter I can tell you that such a cooler is an essential piece of equipment on a wildland fire rig, and if I can find one think it would be a cool detail part on my model. Thanks in advance for the help! [tup]

AEF had/has some nifty coolers, I think intended for US Vietnam era stuff, might work for you.
cool…do you have a web address for them?
Perhaps not exactly the same type of cooler you are describing, but Academy’s M113A1/2 kit #1354 includes a similar cooler.

It’s a nice kit, but perhaps a little extreme to buy the kit specifically just for that part though [:D]
stay away from AEF designs, you’ll pass out if you hold your breath from his ability to fill an order! This is a tutorial from a guy I know, Charles King. He scratchbuilt his and they look great. He is known as Tiking on the forums. This is a PDF and you’ll need Adobe Acrobat. You’ll have to copy and paste the link into your browser. HTH
I think cyeargin is looking for one of these, but 1/35 scale:
