The British helmet Mk I in 1:35 scale is an accessory for a figure, not a figure 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.
An accessory for a figure in 1:35 scale. It contains the helmet alone, which you put on a figure's head, or leave lying beside it, on a crate or on the edge of a trench. It is neither a figure nor a model but a small part for conversions and for bringing a scene to life.
The British steel helmet Mk I, commonly called the Brodie in English, has an unmistakable shape. The shallow dome and the wide flat rim around its whole circumference set it apart from continental helmets at first glance, because they protected mainly against fragments falling from above. British units and the armies of the Commonwealth countries used it, and with modifications it stayed in service for a very long time, so it suits figures of the First as well as the Second World War.
In 1:35 scale the casting is small, so work with tweezers and over a surface. Cut the casting residue off with a sharp knife or a fine saw, sand the surface down carefully and wash the part in lukewarm water with a detergent, so that no release agent stays on the surface. It is glued with a drop of super glue applied with the tip of a toothpick. Spray the primer and the paint in thin layers, as the wide rim of the helmet is an area on which a thick layer is noticed at once. After the base shade, put a wash under the rim and at the chin strap, draw the edge of the rim out gently with a dry brush and close the whole with a matte varnish. If you plan a burlap cover or netting, count on your own material, as the casting is smooth.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a figure. Glue, paints and the figure are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
