Where can I get 1/700 40mm tubs , it seems pitroad only makes the mount and barrels not the round tubs.

easy to make yourself....

Get a piece of brass/copper/steel tube,/bar etc or drill bit or similar of the desired diameter

Wrap a piece of masking tape around and peel--this will be the pattern for the length of strip material you will need.

Take some thin brass waste from the surround of a PE sheet, cut to desired width using good quality sharp scissors.

Roll the strap on a pad of paper using a drill bit or piece of tube of a smaller diameter....

Rolling on a pad of paper will allow the strip of brass to deform downwards in the softness of the paper and quickly curl the brass into a circle- continue doing so until the ends meet.

Using flat tweezers flatten the meeting ends.- continue and 'overroll' slightly. -- spring the ends apart and glue.

You can quickly make many tubs--and if you really want you can add the ammo boxes inside.

with practice each tub should take a minute or so

Good luck
