Responsibility details are not available.
A modeling accessory of its own in 1:35 scale. It is not a kit or a whole figure but a small casting of a single object: the Israeli OR-201 helmet, in modeling practice also designated M76. You use it where the helmet molded on a figure is the wrong shape, or when you want a helmet set down in a diorama on the hull of a vehicle, on a crate or beside a seated figure.
The OR-201 is an Israeli composite ballistic helmet, which the Israeli army introduced in the 1970s and used for decades. What sets it apart at first glance from the steel helmets of its time is a smooth shell with no pronounced brim and a conspicuous system of straps. It is exactly that shape which is the key on figures: the helmet is the mark of Israeli vehicles and infantry, and a simplified casting from a kit often fails to catch it.
Separate the accessory carefully from the casting block with a saw or a sharp knife, and never snap it off. If it is a resin casting, wash it in lukewarm water with detergent before painting to clear it of remains of mold release agent, and glue it with cyanoacrylate glue; a plastic part is joined with ordinary modeling cement. Do the sanding wet and with respiratory protection. Always apply a primer, otherwise the covering coat will adhere badly. Choose the shade according to the particular unit and period you are building. Paint the helmet separately before you set it on the figure: with a finished head in the way the work is much harder. Pick out the detail of the straps with a dark wash and the edges lightly with a drybrush.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The figure, glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
