US Modern Military Soldiers Desert

always go to, Figueres are highly detailed for fine paint detailing I use with my diorama unit scenes.

The Tamiya 1/35 US Modern Army Infantry, Item 35133 is the predecessor to Item 35153. Item 35133 only includes four figures whereas Item 35153 includes six figures. That being written, the comments in this review apply to both sets since the four figures in Item 35133 are the same figures included in Item 35153. Upon examination of the plastic parts, the following weapons are included in Item 35133: M16A1, M203, M47 and M60. Item 35133 does not contain stands for the figures, so the builder must make them from a styrene sheet. The facial expressions on the figures are realistic and are an improvement over other earlier 1/35 figure sets released by Tamiya. Although these are modern US Army infantry figures, they carry weapons that were in use during the 1980s. As with assembly of all 1/35 scale figures, use of a slower setting glue is recommended to ensure the arms of the figures are precisely positioned, so that the way their weapons are carried looks lifelike. Use of an airbrush to apply the primer coat and base camouflage color is recommended. A fine tip paint brush can then be used to add olive drab, black and brown swatches to the uniforms. Fine details such as helmet straps can be painted by dipping a round wooden tooth pick in olive drab paint and blotting it onto the helmet strap detail. The painting and detailing phases of figure model building is tedious, but careful attention to this process will yield excellent results.
