Responsibility details are not available.
A set of unassembled plastic figures in 1:72 scale from the brand MARS Model. It shows a German artillery crew of the Second World War period in winter equipment. According to the name of the product, models of two weapons are part of the set as well: the light 10.5 cm gun of the LG 42/43 type and the 8 cm mortar of the s.G.W. 34 type. The number of figures, the number of poses and the number of pieces of the individual weapons are not stated here.
Winter equipment differs from the standard kind so much that figures in it cannot be mistaken for an ordinary set: longer coats, reversible anoraks and helmets covered with cloth change the whole silhouette of a figure. For a modeler that is interesting above all from the painting point of view, because he works with a white or light gray layer over a darker ground. Of the weapons included in the set, the 10.5 cm LG 42/43 is a light gun on the recoilless principle, which thanks to its low weight was portable and could be taken apart, while the 8 cm s.G.W. 34 is a standard medium mortar with the classic arrangement of barrel, bipod and baseplate. The two weapons are very different in construction and they complete each other in one formation.
Before building, clear the castings of parting lines and of excess at the edges of the coats, the helmets and the barrels. The weapons have thin parts, the legs of the bipod, the baseplate, the cradle, so go at them with a sharp tool and without pressure. Apply the base coat thinly, so that the folds of cloth are not filled. With winter equipment it proves worthwhile to paint from a darker ground toward a light top layer: let the darker tone stay in the folds and lay the light paint only on the tops. Bring out the metal parts of the weapons with a dark wash and a fine dry brush. If you set the set into a winter scene, it pays to unify the figures and the weapons with the same final matte varnish and to add modeling snow only at the very end.
The figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
