Experience the raw courage and specialized skills of Canadian soldiers with this meticulously crafted, 1/35 scale 3D printed resin model set. Featuring a Rifleman and a Door Breacher, this set captures the essence of the Canadian Army's crucial infantry roles in Afghanistan.

The Canadian Army's Role in Afghanistan

From 2001 to 2014, the Canadian Army played a vital part in the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan. Their mission evolved from direct combat operations and security provision to training the Afghan National Army and Police Force, and contributing to reconstruction efforts. Canadian soldiers demonstrated unwavering courage and professionalism while operating in a challenging and complex environment, helping to stabilize the region and combat terrorism.

Infantry Rifleman

The infantry Rifleman is the foundation of any combat unit. As a versatile and essential member of the team, the Rifleman's primary role is to engage and neutralize enemy threats, provide covering fire, and maintain security. They are trained in a wide range of combat skills, including marksmanship, land navigation, and close-quarters combat. The Rifleman's adaptability and discipline are critical to the success of any mission.

This figure is equipped for sustained operations, carrying the standard-issue C7A2 Rifle—a reliable and robust firearm—and a CamelBak for essential hydration during long patrols in the challenging Afghan environment.

Infantry Door Breacher

The Infantry Door Breacher is a highly specialized role within an infantry section, essential for missions involving building entry or breaching fortified positions. This soldier is responsible for using specialized tools to quickly and effectively gain entry, ensuring the safety of their team and the success of the operation. Their role is to create a path for their fellow soldiers, often under intense pressure and direct enemy fire.

This figure is prepared for the unique demands of their role, armed with a C7A2 Rifle and carrying a CADPAT Small Pack for gear. They are also equipped with an M72 LAW (Light Anti-armor Weapon) for breaching doors and other light structures, and a pair of heavy-duty 36" Bolt Cutters for cutting through locks, chains, and fences.

Shared Uniform and Equipment

Both figures are sculpted with remarkable detail, accurately depicting the equipment worn by Canadian soldiers in the Afghan theatre:

  • CG 634 Kevlar Helmet: Providing essential ballistic protection.
