Verlinden has
long produced a solid resin version of this .30 cal. package, which
boxed together four of the commonly-seen 250-round metal cans. But
this set gives you the option to build them open or closed. The
finished open box accommodates four .30 cal. cans from Verlinden,
Tamiya, etc..
The straps,
which represent wire bands that were stapled around the circomference
of the boxes, are made with a stiffer paper. You want to make sure
you get the eye of the band positioned as seen in the product photo
above; the tail end is inserted and folded backward. Of course,
you could opt for a slender wire to do the trick as well.
The
boxes build up easily with white glue. Care must be taken with the
bands; the ends of two of mine splintered when I bent them back
over the eyes.
No guide is
given to painting the boxes. I did see one on E-bay that was purported
to be from WWII and it was painted OD inside and out, and marked
in yellow stencils.
I'll look forward
to adding these boxes to my upcoming armor projects.
