PMC in Iraq - VIP Protection, 1/35 - Trumpeter 00420

The PMC in Iraq 2005 – VIP Security Guards figure set, reference 00420 from Trumpeter, depicts a private close protection team in Iraq in the early 2000s. Made at the 1/35 scale, this injection-molded plastic kit to assemble helps you complete a contemporary diorama, an urban scene, or the display of a modern military vehicle.

The box lets you build four figures: three security agents and one VIP. The characters are shown in poses suited to a protection and escort scene. The set also includes equipment, including travel bags, as well as weapons reproducing M4-SS, M4 CQBR, and a M92F pistol.

The subject fits within the context of the Iraq War, during which private military companies provided, among other things, security and VIP protection missions. These figures offer an alternative to regular crews and infantry to create a vignette or enhance a modern military display at 1/35.

Assembly requires the usual steps for plastic model kits: careful separation of parts from the sprues, flash removal, gluing, and preparation before painting. A primer typically helps ensure uniform paint application and better detail readability. The figures can then be painted to match the represented civilian clothing, tactical gear, and accessories, followed by a light weathering depending on the atmosphere chosen for the diorama.

At 1/35 scale, every dimension of the real subject is reduced thirty-five times. This scale is widely used for armored vehicles, military vehicles, and figures, making it easy to integrate this set into a contemporary scene project.
