Models Oil Drums/Jerry Cans/Buckets

This is a great set of terrain elements for wargaming or military models. There are a lot of other similar products out there for a higher price. Also, I haven't been able to find things like buckets at this scale - little pieces like this are what adds realism to your finished work. Overall a great product at a great price. Assembly is as easy as modeling gets and was put together in a flash. In the pictures I have the Tamiya oil drums (tan) in comparison to the old GW oil drums (grey) and you can see it has the exact same dimensions. With the dented drums I'd say it's better as it adds a detail not easily recreated and provides variation. I'll definitely be buying more of these for other terrain projects.

There are 8 drums, several Gerry cans and four buckets. Four of the drums are shaped to look like older well used drums and four represent new drums. The Gerry cans all appear to b new and four buckets new as well. What I disliked was that the bucket handles snapped into pieces when removing them from the sprew. I was as careful as I could be and yet they snapped. They are attached to the sprew in three different places. I think that had they Been attached in just two places they might not have snapped.

I got this set for a deccent price. Most of the time the price is much higher than the Tamiya MSRP which is something like $5.25 at this time. You can order it from Tamiya but it will still run around $5.00 for shipping. The pieces all fit. I drop one star on value for the money because this whole industry is a bit overpriced these days. It's simply plastic. War gaming models/diaramas have a good thing going 1/35 scale is big enough to have detail on individual solders, but still small enough that it is difficult to sculpt things like these yourself meaning eventually most people will have to buy stuff like this

Fyi: Only 2 handles- not 3 like on box illustration.

Exactly as described by the seller and easy to put together. The 55 gal drums were not as nice as the Dragon set I purchased too but I liked that some of these were dented, which happened with the real ones. The handles for the pails are very small and will break easy so use extra caution when cutting them off. They glue together easily enough if they do break.

This set is just right for those who build dioramas. You get six 55 gallon drums-3 battered 3 in relatively pristine condition- plus German and U.S. jerry cans and 4 pails with handles. all at a reasonable price! Charles E York

Nice addition for a scale Diorama or additions to an individual piece of armor.

I ordered the Tamiya 1/35 scale Jerry Cans kit from Model Empire, Inc. because I wanted to use them in a diorama I am building featuring a Stug IV placed in a brick wall structure. These jerry cans and oil drums provide just the right realistic touch to flesh out the story line I am trying to tell of German desperate defence during the last two years of WWII. Model Empire had the best online price for this Tamiya kit and it arrived in my mail box within a couple of days. Thank you Model Empire!
