1/16 scale Resin printed, high detail model.
US 20 litre WW2 Gas Can
2 cans supplied
The US-designed jerrycan was widely used by US Army and Marine Corps units. In all overseas theatres, fuel and other petroleum products represented about 50% of all supply needs, measured by weight. In the European Theatre of Operations alone, over 19 million were required to support US forces by May 1945.The US design was slightly lighter than the German can (10 pounds (4.5 kg) vs. 11.5 lb (5.2 kg) for the German version).These fuel containers were subsequently used in all theatres of war around the world. Such was the appreciation of the cans in the war effort that President Franklin Roosevelt noted, "Without these cans it would have been impossible for our armies to cut their way across France at a lightning pace which exceeded the German Blitzkrieg of 1940."
The model is printed and removed from sprue/supports before shipping. This model may require construction. Most models require no instructions as they are simple and obvious to build. For models requiring instructions, they can be found in the images featured in this listing.
