Already seen as cargo in one of Gecko’s 6x6 All Terrain Mobility Platform (ATMP) series of models, they are now releasing these separately for diorama purposes. There are 4 such containers in the box.

The Mk 5 APFC is essentially a large rubber bladder, protected with Kevlar, which is used for the bulk transport and storage of up to 2 tonnes of fuel. It can be slung under a helicopter and dropped by parachute. On its own, it will survive a drop of 7 metres.
