About Verlinden Productions:
Verlinden Productions is the epitome of aftermarket military kits and resin figures which brought thousands of military miniatures and related products to the market. The company is the brainchild of Belgian modeler Francois Verlinden, a Belgium-born entrepreneur, author of many books, photographer and military miniature artist who founded Verlinden Productions in the early 1980s.
Verlinden Productions is the granddaddy of the aftermarket parts and resin figure manufacturers. Verlinden has influenced legions of modelers, and will forever be one of the most significant figures in 1/35 scale modeling. Verlinden's outstanding eye for detail and superior quality puts him in the top echelon of his craft. The resin quality is considered as one of the best in the world.
It is said, several times on the web, that Verlinden has gone out of business.
This kit comes in a sealed, clear cello-bag.
It contains a 6” x 7 ½” sheet, printed on one side, that is the instructions, backed by a stiff card, the same dimensions, to prevent the fret from bending.
On the lower left hand corner of the sheet, there is a brass PE fret, that is scotch-taped to the sheet.
The parts consist of hinges, lock plates, hinge pins, locking handles etc. (52 parts)
The set is designed to add improved detail or for scratch building your own doors or gates for a diorama.
There are 7 illustrations that show how to use the mounting parts and to make a door or gate.
Parts are best fixed with cyanoacrylate glue.
Detail is excellent.
Highly recommended.
