ICM 35696 1/35 French Infantry with Gas Masks Figure Set  [ICM-35696]

ICM 35696 - 1/35 French Infantry Wearing Gas Masks, 1918

The ICM 35696 kit presents four French soldiers fitted with gas masks as used late in World War I. At 1/35 scale the figures are sculpted to highlight uniform detail and respirator fittings, appealing to modellers seeking historically faithful miniatures.

Historic Notes and Collecting Value

The introduction of chemical agents made protective masks essential equipment for frontline troops. This set captures that adaptation and offers useful reference points for anyone assembling a WWI collection or researching personal kit changes during 1918.

Modelling Considerations and Display Options

Expect precise parts that require careful assembly and painting; aftermarket detailing is optional. Finished figures suit display on small plinths or as part of larger trench dioramas depicting gas alerts and soldier routines.
