MENG – Water Bottles (and Jugs) (Supply Series) Kit # SPS-010 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 must have. The kit comes with eight (8) 1 liter water bottles and four (4) cooler type water jugs cast in a light blue/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 eight (8) 1 liter water bottles and four (4) cooler type water jugs cast in a light blue/clear plastic. Conclusion: If you plan to build your next diorama in any modern setting. This “water bottles” set will really go well with it. Check out their website MENG 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 Town USA (Lynnwood, Washington USA). The price was $9.95 which I think is a great value.

Another fine set there Shawn! Nice to see Meng producing these! The seams look pretty light too! Maybe a quick buffing could tone them down, not that they are too noticeable really. Thanks for posting the review!!

The water bottles came with my IDF crew figures and they are great.

Glad you all like the review. DeafPanzer, just to make you feel better, I bought two sets of each.
I'm pretty sure I'll find a use for them too. LOL
