Is that what WWll European milf (oops, typo! ) milk bottles looked like? Guess I'm too familiar with the old flat-sided milk bottles.

Useful, but no good for British WWII.

British milk bottles came in metal crates and were a different shape

It would be nice to know what time period these are correct for. And for which country. Though there I'm probably being overly picky...

For some reason those milk bottles look like a modern design. Maybe because they resemble bottled water bottles.

They look to be a very useful addition. I like the way Miniarts releasing all these anciliary bits for dios or cargo in vehicles. I don't understand why they've put Fairmont milk crates in though. I've just looked them up and it's a Nebraskan company so is only any use if you're modelling something in the US. It would have made more sense to just stick in a couple more German or French decals than those. Just struck me as an odd choice.

Right you are!
The decals allow some rare suppliers: pflanzenmilch is soya based milk. One may wonder if these products were available during the war. So, fresh cow milk in old crates?!
And the USA brands? Were they shipped to the ETO?
But one could leave of the decals.
Sure that the Miniart staff will read your remarks and come with an explanation.
Anyway: nice new set, thanks, Miniart staff.

Great stuff for dioramas. I wish they would do more items for Middle Eastern dioramas (modern).
