Hi all

Its been a while since ive posted on here.

Im hoping somebody on here might have a template or be able to point me in the right direction for four man compo ration packs as issued to British Army AFV crews in the 80s/90s. 1/35 scale preferably.

If not would anybody happen to have any pics or dimensions so that I could maybe try making my own.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nick,

Gino posted some threads related to 10 man ration boxes and individual packs I've done.

I've got measurements of 343 x 236 x 192 mm for a 4 man ration pack and pictures for a box dated '02. It's got blue lettering. I can send the pictures and the Adobe Illustrator .ai file I used for the GP rations. You should be able to get a 30 day trial.
