Responsibility details are not available.
A set of unassembled plastic figures in 1:72 scale from the brand MARS Model. It shows the crew of an American chemical mortar of the Second World War period. The name of the product states the contents exactly: 32 figures in eight poses and eight mortars. The set therefore goes far enough for several complete crews at once, which is rather an exception among figure sets in this scale; it typically suits a larger diorama or the completion of several separate scenes.
The designation chemical mortar became established in the American system for a heavier mortar introduced originally for smoke and chemical munitions, but used commonly with high-explosive rounds as well. In construction it is a mortar with a smooth or rifled barrel, a baseplate and a bipod, served by several men. For a modeler it is interesting above all because in its weight and size it falls between a light infantry mortar and an artillery weapon, so it calls for a more numerous crew, and that is exactly what the set offers. The particular type designation of the weapon is not stated here.
Eight mortars mean eight sets of small parts, so work out a procedure first: clean all the castings of parting lines at once and only then glue. The thin legs of the bipod and the edges of the baseplate will stand only a light pass with a file. Degrease the figures and spray them with a thin base coat. When painting the uniforms it proves worthwhile to use one base tone for the whole set and then to bring variation into it with glazes; a single uniformity looks more realistic in a crowd than eight different shades. Finish the equipment, the straps and the helmets separately and bring out the metal of the weapons with a dark wash. Because there are many figures, it pays to paint in series, that is to lay the same color on all the pieces at once. At the end, unify the whole set with a matte varnish.
The figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
