Tamiya 35186 1/35 German fuel drums and jerry cans for diorama detail

The Tamiya 35186 - 1/35 German Fuel Drum Set is an ideal addition for modelers building World War II supply and service scenes. These scale parts reproduce the drums and Jerry cans used by German units, helping builders add operational realism to tanks, depots, and roadside layouts.

Background and modelling value

Steel drums and Jerry cans were essential for frontline logistics in World War II, commonly used to carry fuel and water and often strapped to vehicle racks. This Tamiya set captures those items in 1/35 scale to support historically accurate diorama work and vehicle detailing.

Precision moulding for authentic scenes

The kit provides six 200-liter fuel drums and sixteen 20-liter Jerry cans, with moulded features like rolling protection rings and some open-top lids set to accept hand pumps. Jerry cans show "Wasser" and "Benzinkanister" markings for clear identification. These details help recreate believable maintenance and refuelling moments.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: Six 200-liter fuel drums, sixteen 20-liter Jerry cans, two stand pipes, and two hand pumps
  • Molded in dark green

How much assembly is needed for the drums and cans?

Assembly is straightforward: most parts are single-piece items with a few pump and stand pipe components to attach. No complex subassemblies are required, making it suitable for intermediate builders.

What painting approach gives the best weathered look?

Start with a flat dark green base, then add rust washes, chipping with sponge or brush, and light dusting. Target areas where handling and exposure would wear the paint, such as edges and lids.

Can these be mounted on tanks and trucks?

Yes, the scale and details are well suited for mounting on vehicle racks and rear decks. Use cyanoacrylate or plastic cement depending on your chosen display method.
