Depends what you are looking for. Tamiya do some nice oil drums, sand bags and jerry cans in 1:48 and there are quite a few trucks about in that scale

Gaso.line do a nice looking Bofors 40mm that would be perfect for a British airfield diorama. It would go well with some sandbags and the Tamiya British Infantry pack. Their site has non in stock at the moment though. I'm not sure if anyone else does one or not.

Dunny, you won't find better than Graham's suggestion. Tamiya have a very comprehensive range of aircraft and vehicles with accessories in 1/48th nowadays and the quality is, as always, excellent.

thanks guys, the tamiya stuff we already have and we have found some nice buckets, ladders and a work plateform all in PE and some work beanches, tools, trolles, seats and beanchseat in white metal. so things are looking good but its things like water bowser, fuel truch (bedford ofcouse) starter trollie, bomb loaders things like that, so the search must go on :0)

Hi Dunny and welcome!

Well if its 1/48 airfield bits and bobs, you can find a load of great stuff here: David J. Parkins 1/48th WW II

As for vehicles, I cant say that they are cheap, but I think you will be hard pushed to find better here: Military Models and 1/35 Scale Models by Accurate Armour

Hope there is something for you there!

Found this site Dunny, not sure if it is what your looking for because i dont know the scale convertion. Doesnt seem cheap either. Might be best to scratch build most of what you need.
