Responsibility details are not available.
A resin set from the Czech manufacturer Firma49 in 1:48 scale. It contains small castings of the British Mk III steel helmet, nicknamed the Turtle. It is not a kit but an accessory in its own right for dressing figures and scenes. Given the size of the parts it suits more experienced modelers.
The British Army introduced the Mk III helmet from the end of 1943. Its deeper shape protected the neck and the back of the head better than the earlier Mk II. It first appeared in larger numbers with British and Canadian soldiers during the Normandy landings in 1944 and served until the end of the war. It was nicknamed the Turtle for its resemblance to a turtle shell.
Carefully separate the small castings from the casting blocks and wash them free of mold release agent (with respiratory protection). Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). After the primer, paint them in flat khaki to olive green; a fine wash will bring out the shape and the rim of the helmet.
The accessory is supplied as unpainted resin castings. Glue, paints and figures are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
