Mermite Food Containers - 1/35

A highly detailed set of Mermite Tactical Military Coolers, faithfully reproduced in 1/35 scale. These insulated containers were introduced in the 1960s and saw widespread use through the 1990s by military forces for transporting hot or cold food—and even blood—across the battlefield.

Each Mermite container consisted of a rugged insulated outer shell with three internal inserts, designed to preserve temperature during transport. While variations were made from aluminum, stainless steel, and tinned steel, the most commonly seen type was the tinned steel version—many of which were dated from 1942 to 1944.

This kit includes:

4x Mermite food containers: 2 with lids sealed, 1 opened with internal containers and lid and 1 with removable inserts and open lid

4x round utility cans used for transporting food or blood
