During the closing phases of World War II US infantry adopted gear such as the M1943 field jacket and double-buckle boots that became common from 1944. Troops carried practical items like water bottles, ammo pouches, scopes and rolled ponchos. Typical small arms include the M1 Garand, the BAR M1918A2 and the M1A1 sub-machine gun, while officers often used the M1 carbine. Scout teams made use of compact radio units for on-the-move communication.
The Tamiya 1/35 U.S Infantry Scout Set recreates a compact scout team of five figures, ideal for vignette work or adding life to a larger scene. The kit emphasises authentic uniform detail and offers a satisfying assembly challenge for hobbyists focused on scale realism.
