1:35 Modern Soldier Vest (4pcs)

Modern tactical vest 1:35 (Ginger Cat)

A set of printed resin modern tactical vests in 1:35 scale from the Turkish brand Ginger Cat. With this set the manufacturer highlights the rendering of the webbing system and the pouches. It makes them by high-resolution resin printing. The number of pieces in the package is not stated here, because the figure on the box and the manufacturer's description do not agree. These are accessories for figures and for a scene, not a kit.

What it is suited to

The modern plate carrier with its webbing system is today the most conspicuous part of an infantryman's gear: magazine pouches, a first aid kit, a radio and attachment points for further equipment all hang on it. The manufacturer recommends the vests for modern figures, for the interiors of armored vehicles, for special forces and for present-day scenes. A vest set aside on the armor or on a seat works just as well as a vest on a figure.

Usage tips

First wash the printed resin parts in warm soapy water so that the print residue disappears from the surface and the paint will hold. Cut off the supports with a saw or a cutting disc, never with nippers, which will break the resin. The manufacturer recommends applying a base before painting. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy, as cement for plastic will not hold here. A dark wash into the recesses and a drybrush on the edges will draw out the detail. Wear a respirator while sanding.

Who the set is for

• builders of modern military scenes in 1:35 scale
• figure modelers whose kit lacks gear
• those interested in present-day personal protection and equipment
• anyone who adds loose gear to vehicles

This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
