Pigeon Baskets (1/32) A32-014
This 1/32 scale resin accessory set from Copper State Models reproduces the traditional wicker pigeon baskets used by Allied and Central Powers during World War I. These containers were vital for carrying carrier pigeons used in frontline communication, providing a reliable message network before radio technology became widespread.
- Includes multiple finely cast resin baskets with detailed weave pattern
- Ideal addition for WWI aircraft, vehicle, or trench dioramas
- Accurate scale and proportion for realism
- High-quality moulding for sharp detail and easy painting
These pigeon baskets add depth and authenticity to any historical scene, representing a small but essential part of wartime communication history.
History: During the First World War, carrier pigeons played a crucial role in battlefield communication. Units on the front lines often relied on these birds to send vital messages back to headquarters when telegraph or telephone lines were damaged. Each pigeon travelled in a wicker basket to protect it from harm, and thousands of these were in constant use throughout the war. Their speed and reliability saved countless lives and made them an invaluable part of the communication network.
