The key item is the decal sheet that will bring these little gems alive.

For a moment I was excited but...... No U.S. water Jerrycans still? Tons of fuel cans already out there. Rather disappointed that the lack of water cans hasnt been picked up by anybody.

Tasca/Asuka makes some really nice ones. See here:

The set includes both fuel and water cans.

Keith, the key items are the "flimsies" that mostly are available only in resin IIRC.

Half of the set appears to be taken from their new Oil & Petrol Cans, announced here:

Considering I've already got tons of Jerrycans from other sources (Tasca and Tamiya), this one is less interesting.

Hi, All!

What Bill says is true- My thinking is that the DECALS and the "Flimsies" are worth the price of admission, alone!

If you build WWII-era Britsh subject, yes. If not (as in my case), they are useless.
