Gecko Models 1:35 British WWII Petroleum Cans and Jerrycans (Combo Set) is a plastic set of fuel cans and tins of the British army of World War II. It is not a kit of a vehicle but an accessory for a scene.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an accessory for a diorama, not a model of a vehicle. The set combines British fuel tins and jerrycans in one package, so that a scene gets a more varied heap than one type of container would give. The manufacturer adds photo-etched parts to the set. The scale is 1:35 and the manufacturer's part number is 35GM0161. The containers can be stacked on each other, set out singly or grouped a few at a time, beside a vehicle for instance or at a fuel dump.
Fuel supply was visible at every step in British units. Alongside the rigid can, which is called a jerrycan after the German pattern, the army also used thin-walled fuel tins that were thrown away once empty. That difference is exactly what makes a scene convincing: in one place stand carefully aligned returnable jerrycans, and a little way off lie dented waste tins. Which type and how many pieces are in the package is something to check on the box.
Paint the containers while they are still on the sprue, and you will spare yourself holding small parts. Form the photo-etched parts over a metal edge and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. Rust and chipped paint belong on the visible side: a dark wash into the pressed shapes and seams, a dry brush over the high points and small metallic highlights where knocks fall. Dents can be made by pressing lightly with a heated tip.
This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
