Does anybody knows if any of these boxes are Vietnam war era samples?

Pearl and Lone Star were around then. I don't recognize the others.

Does anyone have a image of them for making 1/35 Beer boxes like they do for modern pop boxes. Or Vietnam era Pop boxes?

A quick Google on these showed that Blitx was brewed from the 1850's to 1999.

Hi Jaques,
This is my intention, to reproduce them in 1/35... but I need to know if they were used in nam like other were (Bud, Falstaff, Carling etc)

Hey Marcelo! I did not realize it was you. That sounds great that you will try to do Vietnam Era stuff.
(Will any of it be for personal download, or are you doing research for a company project? )

Hi Jacques!
I´m wondering to release a new personal download file and this can be the one!
Let´s see what I can find in my research. My free time is every day less than I´d like

I made my own beer boxes, using a scan of a C-rat case and put the beer graphics on it to take the place of the C-rat info. Cases we had were usually just cardboard color with the companies logo on them. PBR, Millers and Bud were the main ones. Jerry

Isn't it amazing, the kinds of details we can add to our models nowadays, the kind of realism we can create, down to the last detail. I never would have imagined such a thing, back when I was throwing together cheapie models when I was a kid. The Internet sure has helped this hobby.

Pearl pop with foam on top, had a can or two of that stuff. It said beer on the can, but i still don't believe it was beer.
