WWII British P.O.W.
2 gallon tanks
armorscale Set No. R35-004
1:35th Scale
Review by Terry Ashley

This is another simple update set from Armorscale which provides six typical British civilian style 2 gallon POW (Petrol, Oil, Water) cans from the WWII period and beyond which are cleanly cast in light grey resin with additional etched handles.

The casting is excellent without any blemishes and just the large casting block to be removed which is easily done with a fine razor saw. The cans feature engraved Esso and Shell Motor company logos which makes for easy painting but the military style cans didn't have the embossed company logos and were slightly smaller than the civilian type cans.

The small etched handles are easily bent to shape and fitted with small indentations on the top of the cans for precise placement as well as having the filler cap moulded in place.

Conclusion:
A nicely detailed set of British civilain oil cans cleanly cast that will add a nice touch to dioramas.

Recommended.

Thanks to armorscale for the review set.
