1:72 Set Of Scale Models Nlaw Anti-tank Complex 5 Pcs Resin Kit

1:72 NLAW anti-tank weapon, five pieces (Spalah)

This is a small weapon, not a model of a piece of equipment: five NLAW anti-tank weapons in 1:72 scale. The box gives five pieces. The maker is the Ukrainian brand Spalah, which prints the parts in 3D from photopolymer resin. Beside figures such an accessory is valuable in its own right as well: used launch tubes discarded in the field are a typical sight in scenes from present-day conflicts.

The real subject

The NLAW is a light single-use anti-tank weapon developed in European cooperation and introduced from the end of the first decade of this century. The gunner carries it in its launch tube, aims through the sight, fires and throws the empty tube away. The weapon became widely known after deliveries to Ukraine, where it proved effective against armored vehicles.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin residue off the parts, cut off the print supports and sand the marks with respiratory protection. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Paint the tube over a base coat, preferably with an airbrush, so that the fine engraving does not get filled in. A dark wipe will add depth, and on discarded tubes dust pigments and a careful hint of a smoke-stained muzzle.

Who the set is for

• builders of dioramas with contemporary infantry in 1:72
• modelers who give their figures faithful weapons
• more experienced modelers with experience of small resin parts

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