An American infantry machine gunner, Vietnam 1968 is a resin figure in 1:35 scale from the manufacturer Bravo 6. It is supplied as an unassembled and unpainted casting intended to complete dioramas and display case scenes.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set holds a cast resin figure of an American infantryman in the role of machine gunner from the period of the war in Vietnam. It is not a kit of equipment but an accessory for dioramas and display cases in 1:35 scale, which will give a scene scale and action. The casting is unpainted and unassembled, so the final look is entirely up to the modeler. Resin figures are marked out by a sharper drawing of the folds of the cloth, of the kit and of the face than is usual with injection-molded plastic.
The machine gunner was the bearer of the main fire support in an American infantry squad. Against the other riflemen he carried a markedly heavier load - the weapon itself as well as a supply of ammunition - which showed in the carriage of his body, in the way the straps were worn and in the distribution of the kit on the body. It is precisely these details that the figure captures: the stance, the turn of the torso and the placement of the pouches match an infantryman in the field, not a parade pose. The set is suitable for scenes with American infantry in tropical surroundings.
First wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent - that way you remove the remains of the release agent from the mold, on which paint would not hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw or a cutter, not by breaking them away; sand the surfaces down wet and use respiratory protection, because resin dust is an irritant. Join the parts with cyanoacrylate super glue and level any gaps out with putty. Before painting, apply a thin coat of primer, which will unify the surface and reveal small flaws. The uniform and the kit can be built up in acrylics with subsequent toning in oils or with a wash; the face and the hands are traditionally painted with a brush in layers, so that the transitions stand out.
The figure is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
