ICM 35696 - 1/35 Scale French Infantry with Gas Masks (1918)

The ICM 35696 kit recreates four French infantrymen equipped with gas masks used in 1918. At 1/35 scale the figures provide crisp detail for hobbyists wanting an authentic WWI subject to assemble and paint.

Historical Background and Modelling Interest

As chemical weapons emerged on the battlefield, soldiers relied on respirators for survival. This figure set highlights those protective items and the practical changes to soldier kit, making it a useful addition for anyone modelling gas warfare scenes or frontline life.

Fit, Finish and Presentation

Pieces are designed for careful assembly and will respond well to precise painting and weathering. Completed figures look strong on small bases or as part of a larger trench or battlefield composition.

Specifications

  • Material: Polystyrene

Do these figures need cleanup before glue?

Yes. Remove any mould lines and test-fit parts before gluing to preserve fine details around masks and hands.

Can I pose these figures differently?

Limited reposing is possible by careful cutting and pinning, but the kit is primarily designed for the supplied poses to keep historical accuracy.

Is weathering recommended for authenticity?

Yes. Light mud, dust and faded paint effects help sell the era and the harsh conditions these soldiers faced.
