Beach Umbrellas Kit - 1/35

Bring a touch of authenticity – and a dash of humor – to your builds with this 1/35 scale Beach Umbrellas Kit.

Inspired by photos of U.S. M48 Patton tanks in Vietnam, where crews sometimes mounted parasols on turrets to shield themselves from the blistering tropical sun, this set captures one of those quirky yet practical field modifications. 

Kit Contents

• 2 x Umbrellas with stands
• 3 style options: scalloped edge, fringed edge, or plain canopy.

Umbrellas in military use provided shade for crews and equipment, served as camouflage for scouts and snipers, acted as bright recognition signals for aircraft, and even offered quick rain protection for radios, weapons, and other gear.

This set adds realism and storytelling to Vietnam War or modern-era dioramas. Whether mounted on an armored vehicle, shading a field desk, or tucked into a camp scene, these umbrellas capture the improvisation and ingenuity of soldiers in the field.
