ICM 35704 US Infantry in Gas Masks 1918 4 figures 1/35

ICM 35704 US Infantry in Gas Masks 1918 is a unique set of four plastic figures in 1:35 scale, depicting American army soldiers from the end of the First World War. This model recreates the appearance and equipment of US infantry in 1918, when the use of chemical weapons made gas masks a necessity on the battlefield. Each of the four figures is carefully reproduced with detailed uniforms, gear, and realistically designed gas masks characteristic of the conflict.

The American infantry played a significant role in the final years of the Great War, and one of the greatest innovations on the battlefield was the mass use of chemical agents like chlorine and mustard gas. Combat troops needed special protective equipment—hence the distinctive gas masks that capture the atmosphere and realities of the Western Front. This set excellently depicts a unit from the end of the war, equipped with typical Springfield M1903 rifles and other period weapons and gear.

The set consists of four unpainted, plastic figures for assembly. The manufacturer does not include paints or glue—these must be purchased separately, which allows for freedom in choosing shades, finishes, and achieving a personalized historical interpretation. The castings feature very good quality and precise details, making this product suitable even for advanced modelers passionate about dioramas and military recreations from World War I.

• Precisely crafted uniform and equipment details
• Realistic representation of gas masks
• Excellent choice for dioramas and historical collections
• No glue or paints included—requires separate purchase

Difficulty level: 2/5 – recommended for both beginners and intermediate modelers.

I recommend this set to every enthusiast of historical models, dioramas, and anyone interested in the World War I era. Careful craftsmanship, authenticity of the subject, and a great base for your own modifications make it an attractive choice for a wide range of modelers.
