Figures are what breathe life, scale, and narrative into any military diorama. While a beautifully built tank or armoured car is impressive on its own, adding a crew or an accompanying infantry squad transforms it into a moment frozen in time. This set from Tamiya allows modellers to create a scene of tense reconnaissance, depicting a US infantry scout team on patrol. These soldiers were the eyes and ears of the army, moving cautiously to gather intelligence and probe enemy defences. The figures in this set are depicted wearing the M43 field jacket and two-buckle boots, the common uniform issued from the summer of 1944 onwards. This makes the set historically perfect for dioramas set during the liberation of France, the Battle of the Bulge, and the final push into Germany.

This 1/35 scale plastic model kit contains five highly detailed US infantry scout figures in a variety of realistic and dynamic poses. The set includes a commander figure directing his troops with an M1 Carbine, a radioman with a "Handie Talkie," a soldier armed with a BAR providing cover, and two riflemen cautiously advancing. As is expected from Tamiya, the sculpting is superb, with crisp uniform details and lifelike facial expressions that bring each character to life. The kit is packed with accurately reproduced accessories, including various weapons, grenades, binoculars, and five helmets, two of which have camouflage nets for added variety. To complete the package, a decal sheet is included for depicting sleeve rank insignia, a final touch of authenticity for your masterpiece. This set is the perfect companion for late-war US armour like the M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman or M18 Hellcat.
