Tamiya 35379 - 1/35 U.S Infantry Scout Set  [35379]

Exploring the Tamiya 1/35 U.S Infantry Scout Set

As World War II progressed into its later stages, the U.S. military underwent several equipment updates, including the introduction of the M1943 field jacket and double buckle boots in 1944. This period also saw infantrymen equipped with an array of gear such as canteens, ammunition pouches, scopes, and ponchos. Standard issue firearms included the M1 Garand, BAR M1918A2, and M1A1 sub-machine guns, while officers typically carried the M1 carbine. Scout teams often utilized handy talkie radios for communication.

The Tamiya 1/35 U.S Infantry Scout Set offers a meticulous recreation of a five-member scout team, ideal for standalone projects or as part of a larger diorama. This model kit not only provides a window into the uniform and equipment details of WWII American soldiers but also challenges builders with its intricate assembly process.
