Another CES item for my Sherman... am looking for 4 of the following please:
Ration Tin - 3 men - 1 day. Attachment 84046 Not to be mistaken with Ration Tin - 2 men - 1 day, or presumably also 5 men - 1 day. Attachment 84045 Attachment 84047 Please let me know if you have any for sale. Thanks Tim |
If you have one of the 3 men - 1 day tins in your collection and can let me know the dimensions, this would be excellent also.
Thanks Tim |

Tim,
Here is a photo from the 3-men 1-day ration box I have. The markings at the top left side of the lid are "DDM 1119/2" "1942 FL/C" The external dimensions of the lid are 243x197x32 mm. Material thickness is approx. 1 mm. The box measures 236x192x121 mm. The height of the edge of the baseplate is 10 mm. The 2-man 1-day ration box on the photo is post war. Don't you need the 5-men 1-day box for your Sherman? Marco |

Thanks for the details. Definitely 4 of the 3 men - 1 day box for the Sherman Firefly according to the CES... which had 4 crew... so I assume this provides 4 men with 3 days rations. I have a similar post-ww2 version of the 2 men - 1 day tin, and the bottom part of a ww2 version of the tin. Having the dimensions of the 3 men tin will allow me to ensure I don't pick up the wrong one if I find a tin which has been repainted, or has the stencilling missing. Just need to find 4 tins now. I have some of the 1950s 2 men tins spare. Cheers Tim |
I think I might have a few Tim. I will have to check.
