U.S.M.C. Officer and RTO, Tet 1968 in 1:35 scale is an unpainted multi-figure set in casting resin from the manufacturer Bravo 6. RTO is the abbreviation for a radio operator, that is the crew of a portable radio set.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set is cast in casting resin and its subject is a pair of figures, an officer and a radio operator. The abbreviation RTO denotes the crew of a portable radio set, that is the soldier who carries the radio and relays communications. It is not a model of equipment but a figure accessory in 1:35 scale for a diorama or a display case.
The composition is built on the mutual tie between the two figures, so it forms a finished scene with no need to buy further figures. The set belongs to the range of Marines from 1968, which Bravo 6 has worked up in a uniform style, so it can be completed with further sets of the same range. The castings tend to be divided into torso, head, limbs and carried equipment. Resin holds sharper detail than injection-molded plastic, so the folds of the field uniform, the straps and the shape of the carried radio set all stand out.
Wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent, so that the release agent from the mold is removed. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw, level the surfaces with abrasive paper and protect your airways while sanding. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). With a pair it pays to stand both figures next to each other dry first and to fine-tune the turn, and only then to glue them. Paint over a primer, build the skin up in thin coats and the uniform in the olive green shades of tropical field equipment. Set the radio set and the antenna apart with a darker, slightly glossier shade, so that it looks like a different material from cloth; a dark wash and a fine dry brush will give the whole three-dimensionality.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
