Unlike its bigger brother, the "Tactical Pack," Fast Attack Bag does away with the theme name. I would have called it a “utility bag” if I were in charge of such things. It's exactly that: designed to be utilitarian for the hobbyist on the go.
On the surface, Fast Attack Bag is a messenger bag with a “Fast Attack” unit choice symbol on the front flap along with rubber Imperial eagle logo on the front.
It is entirely functional. The flap is held down by velcro. Under the flap is a series of mesh pockets. Two are velcro-shut and the third with a zipper. Unfortunately, the flap itself is not a pocket. The main compartment is a fairly stiff structure and is easily accessible by zipper on the back so the flap doesn't even need to open clumsily if the bag is slung over one's shoulder.
The main gimmick of this bag is the insert that it comes with. The Fast Attack Bag has an insert specifically designed for miniatures enthusiasts. The top half is zipper pocket with a “egg-carton” foam insert. Together with the stiff main compartment, in-progress miniatures will be well-protected. The bottom half is a tool-kit organizer. Elastics sewn into the insert can hold up to 15 Citadel-brand paint-jars, a pair of snips, knives, and even security containers of super-glue. Finally, there is a sleeve system for brushes.
There appear to be only a few short-comings to the Fast Attack Bag. Firstly, there's no handle commonly on most messenger bags of its type. Then again, since the main flap is held by only velcro, this probably for the best. The shoulder strap, while adjustable, is sewn directly onto the body. That means any accidental twists need to be straightened out before wearing the bag.
