- Available in multiple scales: 1/144 default, scalable to 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32
- Perfect for logistics enthusiasts, model builders, and container house projects
- Print-on-demand design lets you customize size to match your existing models

These scale model shipping containers bring authenticity to your dioramas, train layouts, and miniature scenes. The set includes both 20-foot and 40-foot container designs, allowing you to build realistic logistics and industrial displays. Whether you're creating a working port scene, designing a container-based structure, or adding detail to a larger model railway, these containers provide accurate proportions and clean geometry.
The default scale is 1/144, perfect for most standard model setups. Easily adjust the size to fit your needs by scaling the files: double for 1/72, triple for 1/48, or multiply by 4.5 for 1/32 scale. This flexibility ensures compatibility with existing train models, ship models, and architectural visualizations.
Designed for 3D printing, the containers print cleanly without support structures. Assemble your custom scene at whatever scale works best for your project.
