The French helmet M15 in 1:16 scale is a modeling accessory for a figure, not a figure on its own and not a kit. You fit it onto a figure's head, or lay it loose into a diorama scene.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an accessory for a figure in the large 1:16 scale. It replaces neither a figure nor a kit. It contains the helmet on its own, which you put on a figure's head, lay beside it on the ground, on a crate or on propped-up equipment. It is precisely such small things that make a scene believable, because a soldier does not have his helmet on all the time.
The M15 helmet is the French steel helmet commonly called the Adrian. You will recognize it at first glance by the shallow spherical shell, the crest fitted over the crown and the flanged rim with a short peak at the front and the rear. A number of other armies used it in various modifications and it lasted in service for decades, so it suits figures of the First as well as the Second World War and interwar scenes.
First separate the part from the casting residue with a fine saw or a snap-off knife and sand the surface of the cut level. Then wash it in lukewarm water with a detergent and let it dry; on resin castings that removes residues of the release agent, on which the paint would not hold. It is glued with super glue, and a gel variant with an activator will give you a moment to even it up before the joint sets. Go over the surface with a primer before painting. In 1:16 scale literally every detail is visible, so it pays off to set the shell apart from the chin strap and from the inner liner, to add a wash into the rim and around the crest and to accentuate the edges gently with a dry brush. Finally, close it with a matte varnish.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a figure. Glue, paints and the figure are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
