About product

German army 20 liter jerrycan 1:72, Art Scale

A resin accessory made by 3D printing: the German standard twenty-liter jerrycan of the Second World War in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit but a small accessory of stowage, for the fenders and rear plates of armored vehicles, for the cargo beds of trucks, into dioramas of refueling points and military camps. The print captures the characteristic swage of the walls and the three handles. The part is supplied unpainted and with the print supports in place.

The real subject

The German standard jerrycan came about in the second half of the 1930s and became one of the most copied pieces of field equipment of the war: the Allies named their own jerrycan after it. The body was made of two sheet-metal pressings welded by a single seam around the perimeter, recessed into the wall so that an impact would not damage it. The swage on the sides stiffened the vessel, the closure opened by hand without tools and the three handles were meant to allow two full or four empty cans to be carried at once. The capacity of 20 liters also made it easier to count supplies.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin in warm water with detergent, remove the print supports after warming in hot water and level the seating faces. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). After the primer spray the cans in the base color of the vehicle, then set them apart with a wash and with pigments. Oil and dust around the closure and along the bottom edge will give the part a worn look.

Who the accessory is for

  • builders of German vehicles and dioramas in 1:72 scale
  • modelers who finish off the stowage on fenders and cargo beds
  • builds of supply and repair scenes

The accessory is supplied unpainted. Glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The manufacturer does not state the number. It is not stated here, and the contents are worth checking on the box.

The army requirement was that one person should carry two full or four empty pieces. The three handles made that possible.

The jerrycan is German, but after the war a number of armies adopted its shape. For a faithful rendering of a particular unit, check period photographs.

After washing in warm water with detergent and after a primer it takes ordinary modeling paints, acrylic as well as lacquer.
