Historical modelling notes for the Tamiya 35315 jerry can set

The early German jerry can combined simplicity with strength, a design copied by many nations. Tamiya 35315 recreates this early form in 1/35 scale, providing authentic fuel container detail for period modelling projects.

Shape, moulding and authenticity

This release contains 12 early-pattern cans featuring the recognised cross-shaped recess for rigidity. The set also supplies two storage boxes, a notek light and a jack with a base, allowing realistic arrangement of supplies around vehicles.

Detailing benefits for modellers

Handles and lids are produced as separate parts and fine engraved text appears on the mouldings to boost believability. The set is a solid pick for modellers who value historically accurate accessories in their builds.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: 12 Jerry Cans, storage boxes, notek light, jack with base
  • Features: Separately-moulded handles and lid caps

Are the engraved markings visible after painting?

Yes, when painted correctly the recessed engraving retains depth. Use a thin wash or pin wash to darken the lettering and then remove excess from the raised surfaces.

Is this set suited to both beginners and advanced modellers?

The parts are accessible for newcomers, while the separate small components offer detail work that experienced modellers will appreciate for advanced weathering and placement.

How should I store unused cans in my stash?

Keep parts on sprues in a dry box away from direct sunlight. Label the sprue or bag loose pieces so you can find matching lids and handles when preparing a build.
