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.
