Add authentic MCI cartons to your Vietnam War diorama

The Tamiya 12685 - 1/35 U.S. MCI Cartons set gives model builders a simple way to boost realism in Vietnam-era displays. The kit reproduces the Meal, Combat, Individual boxes that followed C-Rations from around 1960 and were widely used by US forces during the conflict.

Why these rations matter for accurate scenes

Historically an MCI carton held 12 individual rations, each typically including an entree, crackers, jam and a dessert can, plus a small accessory pack. Including these cartons adds a believable supply detail to vehicles, bunkers and field scenes.

Detailed Assembly Insights

The kit includes parts to construct nine MCI cartons, each crafted from three distinct pieces. The realistic design allows for the cartons to be displayed within or removed from their protective sleeve, offering flexibility in display options.
