Overview of the Tamiya 1/35 U.S Infantry Scout Set

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.

Yes. The five figures are proportioned for diorama placement and work well with armour models or terrain bases at the same scale.
Acrylic or enamel hobby paints are commonly used. Thin coats and layering with washes and dry brushing help bring out folds, straps and equipment detail.
Fine tweezers, a hobby knife, plastic cement and a small file set are useful. A magnifier can help with tiny parts like weapons and radio sets.
