Hi everybody,
I was wondering where guys were finding the coolers that are being added to a lot of modern vehicles stowage.
Also if anyone has scratch built one?
The ones I'm refering to are the average camping coolers.

Maple Leaf Models has a modern Canadian AFV stowage set planned that will include a modern style Coleman cooler.

Are you talking about the American Modern Stowages Boxes?

I am not so sure that those are meant to be civilian style camping coolers as commonly found in North America and carried on U.S. and Canadian AFVs.....they look more like military style equipment boxes.

Here's a common style of civilian cooler....

Anyway many different models are used in the field...
