Product Description

This is a plastic model that needs assembly. 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.

Probably should be listed under hobbies and crafts. These kits need to be glue together and painted. I downgraded it for durability because the soldiers would break if a child tried to play with them. These are meant to be built and displayed in dioramas.

Order was placed for my 4-year old grandson; contents were not as shown on the box and not at all suitable for a child. Vendor was very understanding about the return and I have been notified that a credit has been issued. Am totally satisfied with the service and have a greater understanding of how these items are sized.
