1:35 Refugees (2) Koera war 1950/51 Sister and Brother

The real subject

The set captures civilian refugees from the Korean War, specifically a pair of siblings. The war on the Korean peninsula broke out in 1950, and the movement of the civilian population along the roads belonged to it as much as the military columns did. The number in brackets distinguishes the individual sets within the refugee range; it is not the number of figures in the package.

What it is suited to

Civilian figures give a scene with military vehicles both scale and action. Beside a tank or a truck in 1:35 scale a pair of siblings at the roadside does more than one more soldier: the viewer sees at once how big the machine is, and the scene gains a story. They will serve in a diorama with a column on the road, at a roadblock and as a scene on their own on a small base, where a piece of verge and a bag set down in the dust are enough.

Preparation and painting

The material and the method of production are not stated for the set, so follow the manufacturer's instructions. In general the same applies as with other figures.

• Wash and degrease the parts before painting.
• Cut excess material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder down.
• Civilian clothing takes mismatched colors; that is exactly what sets it apart from uniforms.
• A dark wash will draw out the creases of the fabric; wipe the excess away before it dries.
• Dust the footwear and the hem of the clothing in a shade to suit the terrain of the scene.

Terms of supply

Exactly what the package contains is stated by the manufacturer on the packaging. The paints, the glue, a base and a vehicle model are usually not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
