1:72 British helmet MK1 (detail)

British Mk I helmet (1:72) — a Firma49 resin accessory

A detailed resin rendering of the British Mk I steel helmet in 1:72 scale, made by SLA 3D printing by the Czech maker Firma49. It is not a standalone kit but an accessory for figures and dioramas. The helmet, with its well-known plate-like shape, was part of the typical equipment of British and Allied soldiers in both world wars.

Use

The parts have a fine surface that stands out on a finished figure. Before gluing, wash the print resin residue off the pieces, separate them carefully from the print supports and join them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Do any sanding with respiratory protection. The helmet can be painted in khaki or olive shades and picked out with a wash in the recesses.

Who the accessory is for

• Builders of military dioramas in 1:72 scale
• Collectors of British and Allied army figures
• Modelers used to working with resin
• Those who want to raise the realism of their figures' equipment

This is a modeling accessory, not a complete model. Paints, glue and figures are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
