Good Starter Kit

By: johncpo41 (www.hobbiesinabarn)

Tamiya's advance into scale figures took a big step when they released this kit years ago. I purchased the kit when it was first released and used the figures in many poses, although somewhat limited in choices the poses can be re-done to some degree. As today's figures go, the kit remains and favorite for many simply due to the pricing. The figures are a bit over-sized and would go well with the rest of the Tamiya era of these kits which are all basically over-sized due to scale issues. They are in fact too large for many kits today and have larger boots and other features that do not show a true scale representation. I would highly recommend that they and the other kits of this type be used for younger modelers that are starting out and don't need to be burdened with too much detail and where exact scale isn't a requirement.

1/35 US Gun & Mortar Soldier Team

By: Jesus Loves You - John 3:16, Isaiah 53 (ariel.vancleve@gmail.com)

Tamiya's US Gun & Mortar Team is an excellent model kit that I would recommend to all modelers who are good with painting details (a.k.a. eyes, eyebrows, hair, belt buckles, etc.). This kit includes eight figures, one mortar, one radio, one bazooka, and I think two machine guns. The figures are well detailed, and would make a good addition to WWII dioramas. I have not yet finished the entire kit, but I found that the mortar was a little difficult to put together. Other than this, I have not had much difficulty putting the pieces together as of yet. Painting the figures, however, is a bit more challenging, as it requires patience and a steady hand, with all the small details. Still, in my opinion, this is a very good kit, that, if done correctly, should have a very rewarding result.

Very fun kit, great poses!

By: travis.getz

I really liked this kit. It's a very old one, but the poses are so good it holds up. Mounted anti aircraft gun and gunner were the highlights of this kit for me for sure.
