About product

M-1956 LCE equipment in acrylic

The set of straps, pouches and load carrying parts M-1956 made up the field kit of the American army and was of canvas, which behaved differently from the cloth of a uniform. The acrylic paint US Army Uniforms M-1956 LCE Matt is aimed at this material and, as the name says, has a matte surface.

Kit fades faster than a uniform

It is an unassuming detail but one that decides the believability of a figure. Straps and pouches hang on top, so they are permanently in the sun and the rain, while the fabric beneath them stays sheltered. They are also washed differently and at different intervals. The result is that after a few months the tone of the kit visibly diverges from the tone of the uniform, even though they were close to begin with. Use the same color for both on a model and the whole figure merges into one surface and stops being legible.

Recommended use

  • Load carrying straps, belts, pouches and canteens.
  • Packs, bread bags and other canvas parts carried on top.
  • Setting the kit apart from the color of the uniform on one figure.
  • A base under thin layers of dust in the places the kit touches the ground.

Who it is for

Suitable for modelers of figures and dioramas from the postwar period who want the kit kept apart from the uniform, and for collectors who build several figures in one scene.

Stir the paint thoroughly before work. Store it in a closed container, out of the reach of children and out of direct sun.
