Tamiya 35379 - 1/35 U.S. Infantry Scout Model Kit, detailed five-man scout team  [35379]

Detailed look at the Tamiya 1/35 U.S Infantry Scout Set

By the later years of World War II US troops adopted updated garments like the M1943 field jacket and double-buckle combat boots introduced in 1944. Infantry kit extended to essentials such as canteens, ammo pouches, optical sights and roll-up ponchos. Common weapons shown in the set include the M1 Garand, BAR M1918A2 and the M1A1 sub-machine gun, while officers often carried the M1 carbine. Scout teams also relied on compact radio handsets for short-range comms.

The Tamiya 1/35 U.S Infantry Scout Set recreates a five-figure scout element with precise molding, suitable as a stand-alone vignette or integrated into a larger battlefield diorama. The kit highlights uniform details and equipment layout and offers a rewarding build for intermediate to experienced modellers.
