US Truncated Filling Tube

£3.50

The Truncated tube was issued with all US gas guzzling vehicles to aid the pouring of liquids from the Ameri-Can which could not sensibly be used without it. Early war ones used by the British In the Middle East in 1941 had a thread on the end which had to be screwed in, these were quickly replaced with the Compressed Donut and cam design.

The original picture above shows a British Soldier in Italy refuelling his Jeep with a truncated tube attached.

This model has the cam down so it can look as if it is fitted to a Ameri-Can.

You will be purchasing a scale model of a real item. The model may require removing of supports and some sanding and filling. We would recommend washing in some warm soapy water or Isopropyl Alcohol before painting to remove any remaining residues. Hanging Straps are indicative of how the packs were hung but the straps may not be suitable for your requirements and are fragile so would be best replaced with tape straps.

Not suitable for children under the age of 14
