U.S. Army equipment: American kit in 1:35

The equipment of a United States infantryman of the Second World War is summed up by this collection from Royal Model: pouches, helmets, straps, goggles and entrenching tools, executed as a combination of castings and etched metal. Neither figures nor a vehicle are included.

What a soldier carried

American infantry used a system of a belt and carrying straps, onto which magazine pouches, a canteen, a shovel and a bread bag were hung. The arrangement differed according to the task: a rifleman, a machine gunner and a medic each had a different combination. It is exactly the well-considered placement of these small items on a figure or on the fender of a vehicle that makes a scene look lived in and legible. Crews also hung personal baggage all over their machines.

What to do with the parts

Separate the castings from their blocks with a cutting saw and smooth the cut wet. Before you seat anything permanently, lay the equipment out on paper and think the placement through; an overloaded hull looks unconvincing. For canvas and leather surfaces, layering works well: a base tone, a dark accent into the folds and a dry brush on the edges. Add dust and mud with pigments at the very end, otherwise you will clog the fine detail of the buckles.

Where the set comes in useful

  • On the fenders and hulls of Allied vehicles
  • In dioramas from Western Europe
  • With figures that lack equipment
  • When building field camps and trenches

It is supplied as a collection of parts without a surface finish; coloring materials have to be bought as well.

FAQ

For completing figures and for loading the fenders, hulls and boxes on vehicles.

It does not. It is the equipment alone; you choose the figures according to the scene you are building.

By layering: a base, a dark accent into the folds and finally a dry brush on the edges.
