ICM 35696 Plastic model kit 1:35 French Infantry in Gas Masks (1916) (4 figures) | Unassembled Plastic Display Model

French Infantry in Gas Masks (1916) is a 1/35 scale plastic figure set by ICM representing soldiers of the French Army equipped with protective masks during World War I. The set includes four figures designed for historical military scenes reflecting the conditions of trench warfare in the mid-war period.

By 1916, chemical scale accessories had become a serious threat on the Western Front, and protective equipment became a standard part of infantry gear. Gas masks allowed soldiers to remain operational during chemical attacks and quickly became a recognizable element of the First World War battlefield environment.

French Infantry in Gas Masks - World War I Trench Warfare

The figures depict French infantry soldiers prepared for operations in contaminated areas, reflecting the evolving equipment used by armies during the conflict. Scenes depicting trench lines, defensive positions, or frontline patrols can benefit from figures representing troops equipped with protective gear.

For modelers: Gas mask equipment creates distinctive figure silhouettes and works well in trench environments or defensive positions. Painting the masks and uniform elements separately before final assembly can help keep small equipment details clearly visible.
