That is a real good idea except, cases of beer back then would have been in half cardbard boxes not these nifty little 12 packs with bright colorful labels. The cans were generally white with a colored logo, so best bet is to get some round sprue about the right diameter cut it into cans paint white and add a logo to it

Here a kind of box I´m looking for. But I´d like better pix in other angles... I know it´s hard to find, but must exist a collector arround the web



This one in the pic is a Carling Black Label Beer, right? Any Nam or 60´s vet correct me if I´m wrong...

Bye,

Marcelo

How about Heineken boxes?

I think every NATO vehicle in Germany from the Cold War and beyond at one point or another had them on board.

Black label was a popular beer during that period. So was Blue ribbon, Schlitz, Rolling rock, Falstaff. I hope that gives you a few more options.
