MENG – Drink Bottles for Vehicle/Diorama (Supply Series) Kit # SPS-002 in 1/35th Scale

By Shawn W. Gehling

If you are looking to add more realism to your modern AFV or diorama this is a great kit to have. The kit comes with sixteen (16) various sized water bottles cast in a clear plastic. The only thing that I can think of that would make these better is if they came with decals for water companies. But I’m sure that I can find an emblem to print from the computer. I have some Middle Eastern water bottle boxes that I downloaded a few years ago, that will be just great to put them in. The only thing you have to do is cut them off the sprue and paint the caps white (or if you really want to go crazy you can always use a pin vice drill and open the mouth of the bottle and maybe use some acrylic gel and make your figure drinking or pouring water out of the bottles.  
The Kit:


Contains 1 plastic bag with sixteen (16) various sized water bottles four (4) of each size/shape cast in a clear plastic.
Conclusion: If you plan to build your next diorama in any modern setting. This “Drinking Bottles” set will really go well with it. Check out their website http://www.meng-model.com/ to see what other items (models or supplies) they have that can really make your diorama come to life.
I highly recommend this set of Water Bottles for anyone who enjoys building dioramas and needs to keep their forces hydrated.  I purchased this set at my local hobby shop called “Galaxy Hobby” (in Lynnwood, Washington USA) http://galaxyhobby.com/. The price was $9.99 which I think is a great value.
