This is a 1/10 scale accurate model of a WWII style gas can commonly known as a "Jerrycan." This gas can mounts laying flat with an M3 screw and can be used as a body attachment nut or SORRCA Scale accessory. The part uses an M3 t-nut so the threads will not wear out. The insert can be purchased here:
