About product

The French helmet M15 – the detailed form, 1:48 scale

This is an accessory for figures, not a kit. The French helmet of the 1915 pattern is made in two forms and this is the variant designated as detailed. Check the difference from the basic form on the packaging. The helmet is fitted onto a figure's head or used as a set-aside item of equipment in a scene.

The real subject

The French steel helmet introduced in 1915 was one of the first series-produced helmets of modern armies. Characteristic of it are the low crest over the crown and the riveted brim led around the whole circumference. It was worn throughout the First World War, in modified forms it survived between the wars and other armies took it over as well. The helmet therefore suits figures from a wider period, not only trench scenes.

Fitting onto a figure and painting

Cut the part off the casting block with a fine-toothed saw, level the surface and sand it over gently. Washing in lukewarm water with a detergent before painting is essential with small castings – the release agent from the mold otherwise repels paint. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). A more detailed casting deserves more sensitive painting: a thin filler, a matte base, a wash flowed into the shadows and a fine lightening of the edges with a dry brush. Thin the paint and apply it in several thin layers, so that the rivets and the edge of the brim do not get flooded.

Who the accessory is for

  • modelers who take care over elaborate details of equipment on figures
  • builders of dioramas from the First World War in 1:48 scale
  • anyone interested in conversions and in replacing headgear
  • more experienced builders used to miniature castings

This is an accessory for figures, not a kit on its own. Paints, glue and the figure are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

According to the designation it is a more elaborate form of the same helmet. Check the difference from the basic variant on the packaging.

The 1915 pattern was introduced by the French army during the First World War; later other armies took it over as well.

It is not. It is an accessory for figures, which is cleaned up, glued on and painted.

Apply a thin filler and a matte base, then a wash into the shadows, and lighten the edges of the crest and the brim gently with a dry brush.
