Gecko Models 35GM0075 Modern Military Sand Gabion is a high-quality plastic model kit that allows you to accurately recreate modern military HESCO sand barriers in 1/35 scale. Such gabions are widely used by various armies around the world – especially by the USA, the UK, Poland, Germany, and NATO forces – for building fortifications, protecting bases, fortifying positions, and securing checkpoints. The set includes parts to build 10 barriers: 5 tall and 5 low ones, allowing for realistic and varied representations of a diorama or battlefield scene.

Historical usage: HESCO barriers were introduced in the 1990s and are extensively used in contemporary times – from the Balkan conflicts, through operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, to modern fortification projects. Their main purpose is to protect personnel and equipment from explosions, shrapnel, and gunfire. HESCO gabions consist of a special steel mesh filled with bulk materials such as sand, gravel, or soil. Thanks to their modular design, they can be rapidly deployed in any terrain configuration, and their wide range of uses makes them an essential element of modern military diorama scenes.
