Try Skytrex models "Action 200" range they do Landies, a Lynx and a Chinook.  As for containers I can only think of Shapeways: http://www.shapeways.com/      They have all kinds of stuff there.

While I was nattering with How2 Tony at Haydock he was cheerfully sanding small lumps of balsa into a very respectable looking Lynx for his 1:150 frigate.  I seem to recall that his source for blades was a handful of coffee stirrers.  At 1:200, there should be that much less filing and sanding.
