Features & Highlights
- Scale: 1 : 35 plastic model kit from Tamiya (Item No. 35086).
- Includes eight U.S. Army figures in action poses: mortar crew, machine-gun team, radio operator and ammo handlers.
- Detailed accessories such as a mortar, machine gun, bazooka, radio set, ammo crates and more — adding realism to your display.
- Perfect for use with other 1/35 U.S. infantry or vehicle kits — attaches well to your larger diorama builds.
How to Build & Modelling Tips
This kit is great for modelers looking to add action-filled figures and gear rather than a full vehicle build. Suggested approach:
- Start by removing and cleaning figure parts — pay careful attention to seams on poses and equipment.
- Paint uniforms in correct WWII U.S. olive drab shades, helmets and boots — then add washes and highlights for realism.
- Paint the mortar and machine gun team equipment separately for contrast and realistic metal/wood finishes.
- Use small base or display board to mount the kit: position figures interacting with mortar or machine gun team for storytelling.
- Weathering tip: add dust & mud effects around the feet, and grime on ammo crates to enhance the action scene vibe.
Why Choose This Kit?
Unlike many kits that focus solely on vehicles, this figure-set brings human action to the forefront. A mortar team + gun team gives a narrative context to your diorama, whether it’s defensive fire support or ambush scenario. Tamiya’s quality moulds ensure clean assembly and long-term display value.
