The British tank helmet in 1:72 scale, the variant marked as detail, is a small accessory for figures of armored vehicle crews, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a small accessory for figures, not a kit and not a whole figure either. It brings the helmet of British tank crews in 1:72 scale in the version marked with the word detail; the manufacturer also makes a basic version of the same subject and larger scales. Which of the two you need is not stated here, so check the contents on the box.
The British tank helmet belonged to the crews of armored vehicles, not to the infantry. The shell is low and shallow, with a padded rim running round it and a chin strap; it protected the head against knocks on the inside of the fighting compartment while driving across country. On a figure it is therefore right for a commander in the turret or a driver, not for an infantryman. It is exactly the pairing of vehicle and crew that makes a scene convincing.
The part is very small in 1:72 scale, so work with tweezers and over a tray. Wash the casting in lukewarm water with detergent, separate it from the casting block with a new blade and level the mark only lightly. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue applied on a pin. A thin primer, a base shade and careful picking out of the rim with a drybrush will do for painting; choose a heavily thinned wash, otherwise the small shape would darken more than suits a small scale.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a figure. Paints, glue and other parts are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
