Are these poly-styrene, 3D printed or cast resin? Anyone know?
They look great.

I would assume that they’re plastic. My main concern is the scale. Gecko’s 1/35 “Modern US Weapon Set” appears too small and simple in details for the size compared to 1/35 DML guns, but that can be an illusion.

Sprue shots of each set. They look pretty nice and are in plastic.

Indeed, they look pretty neat and with a minimum of parts to assemble. I’m looking forward to these hitting the market.

Now the question is how many sprues come in each set? I would hope at least two per, but we will see.

Nice. Specially with the rocket launchers. the FGM-148 Javelin will fit very nicely into anything from Iraq to Ukraine. The HK416 could pass as a USMC M27 IAR. The SMAW is a very underrepresented weapon system in 1/35 form, same goes with the M3 RAAW, but that’s because is a somewhat newer weapon system.

I like the updated M249 and M240L. This little set is really good and i look forward to seeing it in stores.

Yes, that’s what the kit says…two weapons each.

I compared the GECKO “Modern US Weapons Set” to DML’s “Modern Machine Gun Set” and the length and height of the two M60E3s compare and scale well; however, the GECKO set has the handgrips for the M60E3 set further back and the barrel is thinner. I still somewhat prefer the DML MG set as it looks beefier than the GECKO set. The handgrips for the GECKO M60E3 are also smaller.

These are now available on eBay and at Asian suppliers.

I received both 1/35 sets today and they look marvelous. One gets two duplicate weapons sets per box.

I didn’t open the inner bags as the parts are surrounded by translucent bubblewrap; however, looking at the weapons, I can see that there is no flash, the parts are straight and true, and the scale appears proportional.
