German EPA's

Post by navcpo » Thu Nov 17, 2005 10:14 pm

Does anyone know the dimensions of a case of the German EPA's. Im in the US military and have had my share of US MRE's but not the German ones. I am also a model builder and concentrate on mostly modern kits. You almost never see a vehicle without a box of MRE's strapped on somewhere. I have US MRE's but was wondering if you know the dimensions of a case of German EPA's. Even the dimensions of an individual meal would be good. Inches or metric is fine. I am trying to reproduce these cases in scale for a few modern Bundeswehr armour kits im working on. Any info you have would be great. Thanks.
