Accessory parts in 1:35 scale: the British four-gallon fuel can of the Second World War.
Responsibility details are not available.
The British four-gallon fuel can was among the most ordinary equipment of British units in the Second World War. It was a squared container of thin sheet metal, and with British goods a gallon means an imperial gallon, so the capacity works out at about eighteen liters. The thin wall was cheap to produce, but it dented easily and the seams leaked, which gave the troops in the desert a hard time; that is why a more robust container of German pattern gradually took hold in British units. On a model such a can is a rewarding addition: dented and rusted, it tells more about service than a whole clean vehicle.
These are accessory parts for models in 1:35 scale that are placed on a vehicle or into a diorama scene. The number of pieces and any further parts are given on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions.
Cut the surplus material and the production marks off with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the rest down. Choose the glue according to the material of the parts. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. Let the cans come into their own through aging: a base shade, chipped spots on the edges, a hint of rust on the bottom and in the seams and, at the end, dust settled along the lower part. A can set slightly askew or a little dented looks more natural than a perfect one.
This is an add-on set. The vehicle model, paints, glue and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
