Early this year I bought this set, After opening the box I was a little bit disappointed that the figures and jerry cans were all separate pieces. One Saturday afternoon, last April I decided to do something about it. In the past I have repaired broken figures with a pen vise drill and some brass wire and glue. So I decided to try this same method. I drilled holes in the tops of the plastic jerry cans and in the bottoms of the figures, and with a little bit of brass wire and super glue. I was able to come up with a solid fix and I don't have to worry about perching these lovely figures so precariously on the petrol cans, I even permanently set up the gas can card table the same way. It was a pretty slow process drilling all these holes by hand but the end result was well worth it. The only other thing I had top do was cut bigger holes in the storage box foam rubber with an Xacto knife. I sincerely hope others may find this little fix useful. A special thanks to "Panzer ace", who encouraged me to share the with others.......

Why are you torturing that poor toy soldier? That's some Spanish Inquisition stuff you're doing to that poor Panzer Crewman! {sm2}

I was thinking along similar lines 🤣

However, great work, Hartman, and a very practical solution to fixing the figures so they sit and stay together more easily!
 
These pics are just one of numerous fixes that Hatman has shared with me over the years.

His ideas and repairs have improved my collection countless times.
