Technical and Historical Description

Jerry cans, the characteristic fuel containers, first appeared in Germany in the early 1930s. They were quickly adopted and used by the Allies, mainly after 1942, thanks to their exceptional durability and convenience. The cans became an indispensable part of the equipment for armored, transport, and infantry units on all World War II fronts – from North Africa to Normandy and Western Europe. The most popular were 20-liter models, featuring a distinctive handle and robust construction, enabling the transport of fuel and water even in the toughest field conditions.

The MiniArt 49003 set faithfully reproduces the details of Allied jerry cans and allows you to create realistic add-ons for vehicles, trucks, field dioramas, or logistics bases. The box contains as many as 45 items, so you can enhance several projects at the same time.
