Oh Elmer . . . . . they are gonna sell a lot of this set !*!*!*!*!*!*!

Reminds me of a similar resin set another manufacture offered some years back - only this one has even more variety, detail AND separate handles on an etched fret!

WOW!

Interesting that MiniArt is including a few of these in with their latest offering of the civi D7 Bulldozer. I wonder if they are going to make a habit of including these as "extras"?

The can shown here came from the equally colorful Plus Models oil can set. However the photo gives you an idea as to how a modeler could use these items to throw a splash of bright color into an otherwise (olive) drab display.



Again I predict this new set from MiniArt is going to be a good seller!

I want these! A very usefully different selection of types.

Having tried to make my own decals for fuel and oil cans by reducing web images, with zero success, the inclusion of decals is long overdue.

Were the trianglular tins a German thing? Looks like all the ones in this set have German markings. But there is one of the same shape on my 1917 Model T ambulance, about level with the firewall.

I don't know if the triangular cans were specifically German.
This Google search returns some triangular cans which seem to have anglo-american labels:

Excellent since they have the labels included. As was pointed out, a great way to add a dot of color to a build.
