As an aside, in the latest Model Military International The April edition, Armorama gets a mention as Jim Carswell used some of the boxes on his M1A1 AIM, that is one of this months builds and they look equally as good as the ones that are very expensive to buy.

Does anyone have a larger, cleaner, more hi-res version of this? The link above is awesome, but has too many jpeg artifacts for my taste. Thanks!

Thanks! I sent you a pm.

Here's a basic generic MRE box I made a while back based on pics of several. This pic is from my in-progress section of my site. I'm looking for the Illustrator files now but seem to have misplaced them. For now, one would need to put a bunch on a page and scale them to their needs. When I find them, I'll make a PDF.

Found it and made a PDF for the larger/taller MRE boxes that I made for an old dio plan: Click Here!

Now I just need the perfect brown paper to print them on.

Was thinking of that but wonder if it would get hung up in the printer.

Most take paper and turn it.

I guess worth a try.
