French Infantry in Gas Masks (1916) is a plastic figure set in 1/35 scale from ICM representing French Army soldiers equipped with early protective gear introduced during World War I. The set depicts four infantry figures wearing gas masks and field equipment typical of the mid-war period. The figures are supplied as an unpainted and unassembled plastic model kit.

During World War I, the widespread use of chemical scale accessories led armies to introduce protective equipment for frontline troops. By 1916, French infantry units were equipped with improved gas masks designed to provide protection during chemical attacks. These masks became a recognizable element of soldiers operating in trench environments and contested battlefield zones.

French Infantry in Gas Masks (1916) - World War I Protective Equipment Troops

This figure set represents soldiers prepared for chemical warfare conditions during the middle years of World War I. The figures are suitable for trench scenes, defensive positions, or battlefield dioramas reflecting the harsh conditions faced by infantry on the Western Front.

For modelers: Gas masks and associated equipment often include small details such as hoses, filters, and straps. Painting these components before final assembly can help maintain clear separation between uniform colors and protective gear.
