US MARINES IN JUNGLE MASTER BOX 1/35

A kit with the theme of the battle on the Pacific islands against Japan. It is a set of four US marines.

There is no color designation number and paint type at all. I have to search for something.

The parts of the head look excellent.

This Marine Corps figure kit has many poses holding rifles in both hands, so it will be difficult to paint when glued, so I’ll attach it later.

In addition to scoops, they are also having the Matchet knife at the waist belt, as they cut through the jungle. They are equipped with a lot of spare ammunition pouch and so on, there is no part to lower the Matchet. Bonded to the side of the body. Anyway, there are many types of equipment.

Some soldiers are hanging grenades on suspenders of their shoulders.

When compared with the paint sample, I think that the color taste is good.

The figure of US Marine Corps soldier patrolling in the jungle has been completed.

WWII US Marine Corps uniform painted, military uniforms used Vallejo’s #924, Russian Army uniform color. The belt that holds the equipment and the rucksack seems to be a slightly darker green. The recommended color was Vallejo’s Brown Violet #887.

This is a color similar in lightness and saturation that you hardly notice in your daily life. I thought that the appearance of khaki would be better, but at first, I tried to use the color in green. Because they struggled with Japanese soldiers in the tropical jungle, at first I used all green so that it would blend into the jungle.

Only the rifle straps were painted in brown. The model would not be good looking if it was all green.

The atmosphere of the battle in the jungle of the southern island.

The radio is the type SCR-300 that carries on his shoulder. I didn’t know where to hold the handset while moving, so hooked sideways for now.

I thought it would seem like a battlefield to have them the old imperial army flag of resembling the Rising Sun taken from the enemy, I stopped it because it was too dramatic. I have a good decal, though.

I purchased a Paradox game called Stellaris at a Steam sale. A strategy game theme is in space. It is the same as other games of the Paradox games when I start to learn the rules, it’s too funny and the time goes by. I just started a little, I still do not know the essence. If you’re not careful it’s likely to be as addictive as Civilization. It contains like an ancient alien such as James P. Hogan’s SF novel “Inherit the Stars” series.

I suddenly realized that compared to the box picture, I thought it would be better not to tighten the chin strap of the helmet but to hang it from around both ears. It feels like a battle in a hot jungle.
