MarS 1/72 Different Weapon Accessories

By Chris Banyai-Riepl

Overview

Finding good 1/72 hand-held weaponry is a challenge, to say the least. While there are several detail sets out there for the larger 1/35 scale, there is little for those who prefer building small scale armor. This set from MarS rectifies that with a wide variety of different weapons, all finely cast in resin.

The Resin Bits

This set came to me in a small bag that did not look all that impressive at first glance. A closer inspection revealed some nicely cast weapons, though, all of which are better than what is generally available in this scale. The downside is that there is no instructions or explanation of what is included in this set. It would appear to be a mix of Soviet, American and German firearms, with a handful of RPGs thrown in for good measure, capped with a single bazooka. The majority of the guns appear to be machine guns or submachine guns, with only one style of rifle included. No handguns are present.

Conclusion

While the information is sparse concerning what is actually included in this set, the quality of the moldings and the high detail present more than makes up for it. I know that I will be spending some time painting these things up for future use.

My thanks to Jadar Model and Roll Models for the review sample.
