Six crates for American C type field rations, a printed wooden sheet cut by laser, 1:35 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The canned field rations marked with the letter C were carried by the Americans in plain wooden crates, and after the landings these became one of the most common images of the rear area: a pile by the roadside, a depot taken over in a barn, an improvised table above a muddy road. A soldier took his cans of meat, biscuits and coffee out of such a crate, so it turned up everywhere a supply column reached, at an artillery battery as readily as at a dressing station.
The set contains six lettered crates on a wooden sheet cut by laser. The printing carries the markings directly on the material, so there is no need to work with decals and risk the lettering wrinkling or going glossy on a rough surface.
The walls are separated from the carrier frame by cutting, not by snapping, so that the edge stays clean. Glued crates take careful sanding of the corners, because a real crate had its edges knocked about by handling. Brown or gray paint thinned with water emphasizes the seams between the planks, but the printed areas are better given only a light wash so that they stay legible.
Six pieces allow a whole stack as well as scattered single crates, and it is exactly that irregularity that makes a supply scene believable. An open lid with cans stacked inside adds action to the scene. It pays to spread empty cans, torn paper and trampled grass around, because a depot in the open air was never without a mess.
