A set of 10 miniature twenty-liter jerrycans in 1:35 scale from the brand Elefant. It is not a model of a vehicle but an accessory meant for completing kits of military vehicles and for filling dioramas and vignettes. This variant carries the SCHWELM marking on the shell and corresponds to the pattern of 1939; the cans are made with the closure open. They suit the can holders on fenders, the beds of vehicles and loose placement on the ground.
The German twenty-liter can, commonly called the jerrycan, was among the most widespread containers for carrying fuel and water. Its recognition features are three handles side by side, thanks to which one or two people could carry the container, and the cross-shaped ribbing pressed into the sides, which strengthened the shell and left the contents room to expand. The closure was done with a folding lever, so it opened without tools. The individual production batches differed in the stamp on the shell, in the year of the pattern and in small points of the closure; it is precisely these details that set the items of the whole line apart.
Separate the parts carefully from the casting gates and sand the remains with fine sandpaper. Do not round the sharp edges of the handles and the ribbing off while doing so, as they carry the whole impression of the casting. Depending on whether it is injection-molded plastic or resin, reach for liquid modeling cement or for super glue. Wash resin parts in lukewarm water with dish soap before painting and sand with respiratory protection. Paint over a thin coat of primer, otherwise the paint holds badly on a smooth surface. Credibility is helped by a dark wash into the ribbing and around the handles, dry brushing of the edges and fine scuffs with pigment; chipped paint and rusty traces around the closure look natural.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
