Are the uniforms and kit accurate to the period?

The sculpts reflect typical uniforms and equipment styles from the late 1970s and 1980s, suitable as a basis for historically informed painting and detailing.

What painting approach works best for small details?

Start with a smooth primer, block in base colours, then use fine brushes for straps and face details followed by washes and highlights for depth.

Can these figures be used in diorama scenes?

Yes, once painted and weathered the figures integrate well into 1/35 dioramas depicting period operations and terrain.
