1:35 MCI Cartons, assembly kit, Vietnam War

This 1:35 assembly kit adds a specific field-supply detail to Vietnam War dioramas with miniature MCI cartons based on the Meal, Combat, Individual rations issued by U.S. armed forces from around 1960. The printed cardboard parts bring storage areas, vehicle loads and camp scenes closer to the look of active service use. The set contains a 200 x 100 mm cardboard sheet with parts to make 11 cartons and 12 individual MCI boxes. Each finished carton uses a 3-part layout with sleeve and inner section, so the ration case can be shown closed, partly withdrawn or fully removed depending on the scene. The markings reproduce period carton graphics, which helps tie the accessory visually to 1960s military subjects. The format suits supply stacks, open cargo arrangements and small background details that break up larger vehicle or figure displays. Assembly is required, and the stated assembly time is 600 minutes. Placed beside trucks, in depot corners or among camp equipment, the cartons add scale reference and lived-in detail without taking over the scene. They also work with period U.S. military builds such as 300035365 and other 1:35 models where ration packaging helps complete the setting.
