Review Summary

The reviews highlight a mix of satisfaction and critique regarding the accessory kit's components, including jerry cans, barrels, and buckets. Many appreciate the quantity, affordability, and realism these items add to dioramas and vehicle models, though there are consistent complaints about the jerry cans having only two handles instead of three and lacking detailed features like proper pour spouts. Additionally, some note the fragility of bucket handles and minor issues with barrel detailing, but overall, the set is seen as a valuable addition for enhancing military modeling projects.

Merely average...

By: lbrown248

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.

A classic never goes out of style.

By: GhastlyCo

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.

Tamiya, please add a 3rd handle

By: jamie

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.
