Jerry Can Set

I needed Jerry Cans to go on a Pershing tank's storage rack. For a very inexpensive price I got this and I am not dissapointed. It includes dented oil drums and new oil drums, Axis and Allied Jerry cans that can also be used for ww2 or the Korean and Vietnam Era. Not to mention it has buckets that can be used for almost anything. I have more equipment than I need and can outfit multiple diaoramas and vehicles.

Ok, the price is right, but after getting this I remembered getting this set many years ago as a kid. All the jerry cans have only (2) handles instead of (3) Please Tamiya, you have great jerry cans in other kits. Please update this kit with them The 50 gallon drums are ok, but the tops are flat instead of slightly domed, so they look a bit clunky. The buckets are great if you add a metal handle. Good price, but it takes work to cut the handles off and fix with sprue or some other solution.

No complaints other than the bucket handles are VERY fragile. You get both new and worn barrels; I based those in black, dry-brushed some burnt umber and then some bronze followed with a Light black wash for a great weathering effect. Nothing exciting of course but if you need the set pieces the price is just right.
