Tamiya British Infantry Set - 1/48 European Campaign

Tamiya 32526

Our 4th MM Series infantry set introduces British soldiers to the 1/48 scale world. A wide variety of poses and figures, including riflemen, tankers and even a farmer is designed to suit all manner of modeling situations.

 

British infantry squads were made up of 10 men organized around the Bren light machinegun, and consisted of a machinegun group, formed by the second-in-command, machine gunner and loader, and a rifle group made up of 6 riflemen. The squad leader commanded both groups. The infantry uniform was marked by the distinctively shaped Mark II helmet, while the so-called Battledress of short wool jacket, leggings and boots was worn by all branches of the army. A denim version of the same battledress was worn in summer months, while leather jerkins were used in winter. Tank crews initially wore the same khaki battledress with the addition of a black beret, but in the later stage of the war this was largely supplanted by coveralls.
