i would consider just buying a small number of containers... say rib sided , rivet sided , smooth sided and similar, then make some silicon moulds of the sides, then cast in resin and apply to the ' plasticard' shell' as bog standard suggests.... this way you keep the uniformity, and keep the detail but get rid of the potenitial weight and horrific costs associated with hundreds of shop bought containers...

as for scale then the nearest commercially available is likely to be 00/HO scale....
