About product

Japanese steel pillbox 1:72 (Hauler)

A resin model of a Japanese steel pillbox in 1:72 scale from Hauler. The set usually combines cast resin parts with a photo-etched fret and serves as a fortification for dioramas. It is not a vehicle or an airplane but a static scenic object which fills out the battlefield of the Pacific and Asian theater.

The real subject

Japanese steel pillboxes were prefabricated, usually hexagonal structures welded from steel plates. Japanese troops used them above all for beach defense, and it was usual to bank the outside with sand or to camouflage it with palm fronds so that it blended into the surroundings. The embrasures made it possible to cover the approach routes and the shore against an advancing enemy.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin parts free of mold release agent and cut the casting blocks off; bend the photo-etched parts over an edge. Bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate) and sand with respiratory protection. We recommend a primer and then rust, peeling paint and sand deposits created with washes, pigments and texture pastes.

Who the model is for

  • For builders of Pacific theater dioramas.
  • For modelers of fortifications and scenic objects in 1:72.
  • For more experienced builders with resin experience.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
