Reply To: 28mm Ammo Boxes ???

[a27cromwell 3188xp 1]

I have got  all 4 Rubicon sets . Unfortunately most of the boxes are not scale versions of the real thing .  Some of those boxes are almost scale 6 ft long, wtf . I have cast a few , actually more than a few 76mm , 85mm , 122mm & 152 mm boxes using kit bashed model RR freight as masters and using the Miniart 1/35 boxes as patterns . Its the British & German metal boxes which are the problem , a real  PIA to master . I’m surprised no one has made any in resin or metal . I did find some nice looking 3D printed Flak 36 88mm three round wicker boxes which I ordered , hopefully they’ll be more in scale than Rubicon’s in their 88 kit . I have been using various Tamiya 1/48 stowage , oil drums and fuel cans , you’ve got to have that 3 piece handle on them to look right . Maybe I can find some 1/48 ammo boxes in resin or maybe AFV makes some in 1/48 as stowage for their Staghound

Might end up with a 2nd post as the site timed me out ,
