Of course. sigmfg.com is Sig's website. Peruse it to see everything they have, order from it, establish a user ID and password, sign up for their occasional email of new items and specials. I have, with no problems.

 Most of the Sig field boxes are big monsters though, designed more for the R/C guys. Hangar 9 offers one that is very popular and seen all over. It comes as a simple kit, just needing to add a control panel and a battery which they also sell. It's the one I've used for years, a handy smaller size but still holds quite a bit of stuff...

If you have the required tools, Why not draw one up and build one yourself?  My dad and I built our own many moons ago. Dad still uses his. I have since gone minimalist and just take a glow igniter and tach out to circle.

Draw up what you think it should be, then build a mock-up with either cardboard or foam board. Use those as templates and build the final product. You will be able to build it to exactly suit your needs.

Either ways, good luck!

   Thanks to Sean for helping the old man out with the photo. Mine is just biog enough for the power panel and a 12 volt, 7 amp gel cell underneath it. I divided the other side in half for space in a simple drawer and an open top area for odds and ends, spare plugs, and a few tools. I just want all the power I can get for a good clean start, and the occasional use of a starter if necessary. It's made from hardware store luan wood, 1/4" thick, a simple rope and pvc pipe handle and some cord for a drawer pull. This is the second one I have built, after wearing the first one out. I used a the brass corner hardware from the first box on this one. Gave it a coat of some sort of urethane that I had laying around. Makes a good surface for stickers and such. The battery needs to be charged just twice a year or so. I used it today to get my January flights!
    Type at you later,
