Add the ultimate "Canadian touch" to any modern armor or soft-skin vehicle with this 1/35 scale resin stowage set. This set faithfully reproduces the iconic modern plastic military fuel and water canisters, which have been the standard issue for the Canadian Armed Forces (and many other nations) for decades.

  • Authentic Modern Design: Unlike the metal "Jerry Cans" of WWII, these containers feature the distinct rounded edges, three-handle design, and ribbed reinforcement characteristic of current molded polyethylene military cans.

  • Gas & Water Variants: The set includes a mix of Military Fuel Cans (MFC) and Military Water Cans (MWC).

    • Fuel Cans: Feature the correct wide-mouth cap and flange details.

    • Water Cans: Feature the distinct "Water" cap configuration (often a smaller pour opening) or single handle variations if applicable to the specific era modeled.

  • Fine Details: Includes separate pour spouts that can be attached to open cans for diorama scenes, as well as molded-in "Gas" and "Water" script on the sides where appropriate.

  • Versatile Stowage: Perfect for filling the bustle racks of a Leopard 2A4/2A6M, the side bins of a LAV III, or the rear carrier of an Iltis or G-Wagen.

The Modern Military Can: A Canadian Innovation

This type of military fuel/water canister is a modern Canadian success story. Developed in Scarborough, Ontario, it was designed to totally replace the corrosion-prone steel Jerry Can used previously.

  • Indestructible: Made from high-density polyethylene, these modern cans are virtually indestructible, rust-proof, and lighter than their steel predecessors.

  • Global Standard: While standard issue for the Canadian Army since the early 1980s, their superior design led to adoption by the US military and virtually all NATO forces.

  • Color Coding: In Canadian service, fuel cans are typically Olive Drab (for diesel) or Red (for gasoline/mogas), with Yellow sometimes used for diesel. Water cans are almost exclusively Tan or Blue/Cyan in camp settings, but tactical water cans are often matching green or tan.

Recommended for: Any modern Canadian (or NATO) vehicle kit, including LAV III, Leopard 2, G-Wagen, and Iltis.
