About product

Green berets on Sword Beach, 1:35 scale

The sixth position of the line captures a fusilier, that is an infantryman with a rifle. The BlackSnake Model brand is based in France and keeps the Commando Kieffer line as one of its main ones; every figure is produced by three-dimensional printing and supplied as a set of parts.

A beret instead of a helmet

The British commandos earned the green beret as a badge of their training, and Kieffer's men were especially proud of it. On the beaches, nonetheless, most units landed in a steel helmet, because fragments were flying over the shore. In dioramas a beret therefore marks the moment after the fight for the beach rather than its course. Anyone building a scene should take that difference seriously, because it tends to be the first thing a knowledgeable viewer notices. Period photographs from the beach show both.

Finishing tips

The weak spots of a figure take more when you let them cool thoroughly before sanding; heat softens the material. In terms of color it works well to lay the uniform into a green-brown and to keep the vehicle or the terrain around it in a different shade, so that the figure does not merge with the background. Bring the metal parts out with a graphite lead, not with silver paint. Silver tends to be too conspicuous on small areas.

Suitable for these modelers

FAQ

The beret was the badge of the commandos, but on the beach most of the soldiers had a steel helmet because of the fragments.

One.

Yes. 1:35 is the commonest scale for military equipment, so it matches in size.

Super glue is used on printed and resin parts; ordinary cement for plastic will not join this material.
