Historical Context and Uniform Details

During World War II, U.S. Army squads were pivotal to military operations, typically comprising twelve soldiers led by a Sergeant. The most iconic uniform of this era was the M1941 field jacket, later evolved into the M1943 version. Despite the introduction of the M1943, the M1941 remained prevalent due to production delays. This kit reflects such historical details, offering authenticity in modeling.

Realism in Modeling

Each figure in the Tamiya 32513 set is designed with separate plastic weapons and equipment, allowing for enhanced realism. The inclusion of items like the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) and bazookas provides a comprehensive representation of the infantry’s arsenal. Such attention to detail ensures that these figures stand out in any display or diorama setting.
