1/35 German fuel drum set by Tamiya 35186 for period accuracy

The Tamiya 35186 - 1/35 German Fuel Drum Set offers a selection of scale fuel drums and Jerry cans that enhance historical accuracy in World War II dioramas. Use them to fill supply yards, vehicle stowage points, and maintenance scenes with convincing props.

Historical role and modelling benefits

During the war, fuel drums and Jerry cans were vital for keeping vehicles moving and camps supplied. Including these items in a model layout helps tell the logistical side of operations and adds credible context to vehicle models.

Kit contents and authentic detailing

This set contains six 200-liter fuel drums and sixteen 20-liter Jerry cans, plus two stand pipes and two hand pumps. The drums are modelled with rolling protection rings and some lids designed for pump fittings. Jerry cans carry "Wasser" and "Benzinkanister" markings to reflect period identification.

Light cleanup of mould lines is recommended for the best finish. Remove flash with a fine file or sanding stick then proceed with primer before paint to ensure even coverage.
A flat dark green base is historically appropriate. Apply subtle weathering with rust tones and dust to simulate exposure and handling common in service use.
Yes, the 1/35 scale matches standard vehicle kits and diorama accessories, making them easy to integrate for added realism on stowage racks and supply areas.
