MiniArt 35407 1/35 U.S. Infantry Tank Riders Set 1 is a plastic model kit designed for model enthusiasts who are interested in building or enhancing military dioramas, particularly those depicting U.S. infantry during World War II. This kit focuses on U.S. infantry soldiers in dynamic poses, as they would have appeared riding on or around tanks, often a key element in World War II battles.
- Scale: The kit is in 1/35 scale, which is a popular size for military model kits. It fits well with other 1/35 scale vehicles and figures, such as tanks, armoured cars, and artillery pieces, often used in dioramas.
- Figures: The set contains detailed figures of U.S. infantrymen, typically in poses that suggest action and mobility, like riding on tanks, holding weapons, or taking cover. These poses add realism to the figures, making them look engaged in combat or at ease during transport.
- Detailing: As with most MiniArt kits, the figures are highly detailed, with features such as:
- Realistic facial expressions
- Accurate WWII-era uniforms and equipment, including helmets, rifles, and other gear
- The natural folds of fabric and the texture of gear for a lifelike look
- Poses: The figures in the set are designed to show the soldiers in action, such as clinging to the tank, standing, or holding onto the tank’s turret or gun. This allows you to recreate scenes of soldiers riding on tanks during a mission, which was common in WWII as tanks often carried infantrymen to the battlefield.
- Historical Accuracy: The set is likely to focus on the time period of World War II, specifically featuring U.S. infantry uniforms and equipment from that era, making it perfect for dioramas or models depicting U.S. forces in combat.
- Compatibility: The set is ideal for inclusion in tank dioramas. These figures would pair well with any 1/35 scale U.S. tanks or armoured vehicles, such as the M4 Sherman, making it a great addition to any WW2 U.S. tank model collection.
