20 Foot Shipping Container Kit - 1/35

Build a battle-worn workhorse of the modern world.

The 20 Foot Shipping Container Kit gives you a fully detailed, highly accurate intermodal container in 1/35 scale — complete with your choice of open or closed doors and professional spray masks for four of the world’s most recognisable shipping company liveries. No decals. Just crisp, weatherable paint.

Kit Contents

• 1 x highly detailed 3D printed resin 20 foot shipping container

• All sides fully detailed with accurate corrugation

• 2 door options — choose closed doors with locked padlocks, or open doors with unlocked padlocks

• 8 x pre-cut Orafol 810 logo masks (2 per livery, one for each long side)

• Logo painting instructions with Tamiya colour callouts for all four liveries

Liveries included:

• Maersk

• Maersk Line

• Evergreen

• COSCO

The masks are cut from Orafol 810 — a professional-grade masking film used in sign-making and automotive finishing. It seals firmly into corrugated surfaces for a crisp paint edge, then releases cleanly without lifting your base coat.

Each mask is cut slightly longer than the finished logo. This is intentional — when pressed into the corrugations, the logo reads at the correct final length. Always work from the centre outward when applying, pressing the film fully into each groove before spraying.

Evergreen and COSCO logos are single-colour sprays over the base coat — straightforward and fast.

Maersk and Maersk Line are three-stage logos (white rectangle, Maersk blue field, black lettering), with separate mask elements for each stage. Full step-by-step instructions are included.

Because the logos are sprayed rather than decalled, you can weather directly over them for a fully integrated, realistic finish — washes, dry-brushing and grime all sit naturally on the surface.

Shipping containers are ubiquitous in modern and contemporary military dioramas — and for good reason. Since the 1980s, standard intermodal containers have been a fixture of forward operating bases, port logistics, airfield operations, and urban combat environments worldwide.

Modern militaries use modified containers as concealed missile launch platforms, mobile command posts, field hospitals, armoured crew shelters, and rapid-deployment weapons systems. The US Army’s Typhon mid-range missile system, for example, launches Tomahawk and SM-6 missiles from standard containers mounted on flatbed trucks — indistinguishable from civilian cargo at a distance.

In civilian contexts, COSCO, Maersk, Evergreen and Maersk Line containers move the majority of the world’s seaborne trade — making them the correct liveries for port, logistics, and urban diorama settings across any modern era.

A single container can anchor an entire scene: a breached door in a Fallujah alley, a COSCO box unloaded dockside in Hong Kong, a pair of Evergreen containers stacked at a FOB perimeter. Pair with figures, vehicles, and stowage for maximum narrative impact.

Compatible with: modern military dioramas, port and logistics scenes, urban combat settings, FOB base builds, dio vignettes
