Eureka XXL has a new set of resin 1/35 modern cargo bags. With a Soviet era looking, they will be useful for many types of scenes.
Backpacks and cargo bags. Items so common in every day life that they have become almost invisible. Stuff used by civilians in many countries but also by special units, military volunteers, during civil wars and by refugees. Basically all that you may see in modern conflicts and you will see in the future. This kind of equipment will be essential in post-apocalyptic dioramas too, if you would like to build anything based on popular movies or computer games.

Eureka XXL has labelled this set as “Eastern” because cargo bags of this type are well known in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Made from strong and durable polypropylene fabric, they are used for carrying really heavy loads and can be folded when empty. This austere soviet looking makes them different from other sets available on the market.

There are unlimited variants of painting for this kind of cargo bags . Most common are 2-3 colours stripes or grid pattern. Although many modellers can paint such stripes or grid pattern on their own, the company offers also a simpler way and provides decals for three colour schemes taken from real life cargo bags. Backpack is universal type and you may paint it whatever you like, including inscriptions, company logos or any additional badges or toys.

Set contains four resin elements in 1/35 scale (3 cargo bags and 1 backpack) and decals.

I guess some projects may require several sets H.P.

That they include the colorful decals makes these a winner IMO.

Those will look great in a pick-up for a North-African or Middle-Eastern scene.
