Hi I new here, but lately I been doing a lot of looking thru the sites, and never onced noticed a pressurized shipping container, the Military always ship their engines or parts for their AFV's in a pressurized container so the elements of going over seas doesn't harm them in anyway, I'm sure if you ever seen then big steel tanks that look like a fuel oil tank setting on it's side with big ribs around it, well it probably has an engine or transmission, or some other important main part that can't get dirty or saltwater on it, now I've moved thousands of them to the ports to be shipped over to Desert Storm, but with everybody wanting accuracy, they told me they stay in that container until they are used. Now if sombody else has done this then I apolagize for speaking out of turn, but I thought I would just mention this to what I thought was a big item of importance for accuracy. Thank You for your time Straightedge

There you go Matt, I was wondering when they show changing engines during war and they seem worried about a ribit being off a 1/16 inch, that they always show changing an engine by itself, when it stays in these crates until it is changed, and I never seen a diorama have a container in it before, now I myself didn't know where you could get pictures of them, I just knew they exsisted, thank you for finding them for me.
