About product

The French helmet M15 in 1:16 scale, the detailed form

This accessory belongs to a figure in the large 1:16 scale. The same helmet is made in two forms, a basic one and one designated as detailed, and this is the detailed one. It is neither a figure nor a kit; you get the helmet on its own for fitting or for laying loose into a scene.

The real subject

The French steel helmet M15, commonly called the Adrian, has a shallow spherical shell, a crest fitted over the crown and a flanged rim with a short peak at the front and the rear. A number of armies used it and it lasted in service for decades, so it finds a use with figures of the First as well as the Second World War and with interwar and postwar scenes.

Fitting, cleaning up and painting

Cut the casting residue off with a fine saw, sand the surface of the cut down and wash the part in lukewarm water with a detergent. With resin castings that rids the surface of the release agent, which would otherwise keep the paint off the material. It is glued with super glue; with a larger mating surface reach for a gel variant. Then a primer comes in turn. The large 1:16 scale forgives little, so look the surface over against the light before painting and even any bubbles or grooves out with a modeling compound and sand them over. While painting, set the shell, the crest, the chin strap and the inner liner apart, put a wash into the rim and go over the edges with a dry brush. Close with a matte varnish, leaving only the leather parts slightly satin.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of large 1:16 figures who want more elaborate headgear
  • Dioramas where a helmet lies away from a figure and is visible close up
  • Conversions of figures and the replacement of the original helmet from a kit
  • Modelers who like practicing transitions of color on a small area

The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a figure. Glue, paints and the figure are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is the detailed variant of the same helmet. Check the difference from the basic form on the packaging.

It is not. It is a separate accessory; you obtain the figure separately.

Sand the mating surface down so that it sits on the crown, and bond the joint with a gel super glue. Fill any gap with a modeling compound and sand it over.

With resin castings yes, as residues of the release agent from the mold otherwise repel paint. Lukewarm water with a detergent and thorough drying are enough.
