Originally conceived for use by German forces during WWII, the Jerry Can's design proved to be so good that it was reverse-engineered for use by the Allies. The 20-liter container was tough and compact, allowing them to be easily stowed aboard vehicles. It had a simple but effective lid mechanism with three handles. The early type featured a simple cross-shaped indentation for strength while later types had more complex indentation designs. Specs and Features 1/35 scale assembly kit set contains 12 early type Jerry Cans, 2 types of storage boxes, a notek light, and a jack with its base. Jerry Cans feature separately-molded parts for the handles and lid caps. Caps feature finely-engraved text details.
