USAAF 50-GAL Fuel Drums
Brian Watkins is a huge WWII buff and longtime modeler and he did what many of us have always thought about, started his own company, Resin 2 Detail which is supplying detail parts he has researched, 3D printed and is selling them to us which is awesome
This is a nice small set of four US 50-Gallon barrels/drums in two different styles. Each style comes a dented version and undented version. The parts are perfectly cast and bubble/seam free.
Prep work is simple, lightly sand the bottom and prime the parts. Looking through the Internet, I found a couple different colors so I thought I would do some gray versions and some black and concentrate on weathering and wearing on the dented versions. I used a mixture of washes and pastels and the drums look great. I am sure you could get some decals to replicate warnings or information stencils too. In the end, A flat coat and done.
These are great, well made and inexpensive add-ons to your bases or dioramas. Highly recommended. My thanks to Resin 2 Detail and to IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review this set.
