WG/BA: Japanese Special Naval Landing Force

A 6th US Marine Division intelligence report prior to the landing at Tarawa in August 1943 stated ‚Naval units of this type are usually more highly trained, and have a greater tenacity and fighting spirit than the average Japanese Army unit.‘

This plastic and metal set contains parts to make 32 SNLF. It includes plastic Japanese Infantry sprues plus metal parts with new heads for every model (including an officers tropical hat and a sailor’s cap). The set also includes equipment packs including their distinctive gas-masks. There are also two new metal bodies as well as arms firing a pistol and wielding a ceremonial sword. The set is rounded off nicely with the full-colour sheets of flags and devotional banners – great to hang from weapons as they take Emperor’s word to the enemy…

Box contains 32 metal and plastic figures.
