Interesting equipment. I see an M-1 carbine, gas masks, police night stick (baton), and the body armor pieces protecting the back of the neck, the face mask similar to U.S. football .

I prefer the M1 carbines.Thanks for the historical information which I did not know, Frog
I also loved this old type South Korean police uniform as looked very traditional in the 1980s.

So did my Dad! He told me he would ditch his M-1 Garand every chance he could for an M-1 carbine.I prefer the M1 carbines.
The limitation of the M1 carbine appeared when it was used as a rifle, which it was not (notably lack of stopping power at long range).I read that the M1 carbine didn't perform well in the severe cold during the battle of the Chosen Reservoir, as compared to the Garand. Also the Sherman was said to be more reliable than the other tank M-60? present during that battle. My Dad liked the Carbine.
I agree. Even a Colt Government was quite bigger for my hand in the US 40 years ago.A WW2 member of a model club once told me of his post Normandy landing and going inshore with his M-1 rifle and replacing it with a Carbine at first opportunity. He was 5 ft 4 in tall and weighed 135 pounds. He carried the Carbine through V-E day.
Type C belongs to the nitrocellulose adhesives.Nice. What kind of the adhesive is the Cemedine?
In my experience, Cemedine type C is not so quick as cyanoacrylates but not so slow as silicone type.Quite quick drying doesn't it?

I am not a scale modller, so please let me tell our general situation about the synthetic glues.I see. Here in Poland the most known nitrocellulose adhesives are "Hermol 85" and AK-20. The Hermol can be used both for plastic, paper and wood. However the AK-20 is better for wood and being thinned also can be used as the impregnate. But there is a clear coat called Nitrocellon. It is of the same kind the AK-20 glue. All these adhesives are used widely for modelling. The Nitrocellon is used for wood protection and impregnating of what we call "japanese paper" - the very light skin for models. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about , my friend.

You are doing good job on the model plane, WojtekGrasped. Anyway , both the AK-20 and the Nitrocellon are the great adhesive and impregnant for a such model like the Mitsubishi Ki-30 light bomber posted above.
