    Not knowing anything about Gerry Jerrycans, could you elaborate on that a bit?

      My guess would be that the lettering should be embossed rather than raised.

          As Dan guessed correctly: the lettering should be embossed, but I guess it was easier for ESCI to engrave it into the mould rather than cut away all the material around the letters. A typical 1970s shortcut, really

              I'll join the rabble and watch this one too, never ever made a 1/9th kit so this will be a good viewing
