Jerry Can Set

There may be some slightly more detailed versions of these around, as this was state of the art a number of years ago. However they are exactly what claim to be - 55 gallon barrels, jerry cans, and pails. Half of the barrels are dented, half new. Half of the jerry cans are WW2 US version, the other half WW2 Germany Army type. The pails, well, they are pails. These are a lot more useful than you might think and they show up on MV's all the time in pics. For the price you can't really go wrong, and you may want to consider if a more expensive resin version is really worth it.

The box says Nine German and Nine U.S. jerry cans. However, all of them have the opening on the center of the pour lip. German Jerry cans should have the opening on one side. Also, the caps on all of the jerry cans are molded in and look like little lumps of plastic, not a removable cap. And, all 18 jerry cans only have two handles on top instead of the 3 all WW2 jerry cans should have. The drums and the buckets are great. I would use the jerry cans in this kit for a lower layer of jerry cans with another layer of jerry cans stacked on top from a more detailed kit.

This is a good kit to pick up for your Vehicles, Diorama, or Figures that you want to Complement. Granted this kit has been on the market since the late 1970s or so. So some of the detailing is lacking as into the pour spouts on the Jerry cans or even the Jerry can handles. But with a little spure from your Spare parts box. This can be fixed with just some plastic bits and some glue. I have used this kit Many many times in my 47 years of Building Models. I love it!
