Japanese Army Infantry Platoon

Assemble an army of fanatically loyal soldiers of the Emperor and fight your way through some of the most brutal battles of World War II.

The Imperial Japanese Army fielded nearly five and a half million men during World War II. Although many of them were conscripts, they were well-trained, highly motivated, and extremely disciplined. Thanks to their aggressive tactics, they were able to strike swiftly and relentlessly, and they displayed a fanatical fighting spirit, even in the face of an ultimately invincible enemy.

This box contains 30 infantry models, allowing you to assemble a wide variety of Japanese infantry units. Each sprue contains a large assortment of weapons, including Type 99 Arisaka rifles, Type 99 light machine guns, Type 89 grenade launchers (also known as "knee mortars"), explosive mines, swords, and much more. There is also a Type 92 machine gun, enabling you to represent a medium machine gun team (we've included three 60mm bases to help with this!), as well as numerous additional parts to further customize your troops. Most importantly, a variety of heads and equipment are included, allowing you to represent not only Imperial Japanese Army troops, but also those of the Special Naval Landing Troops or seasoned jungle fighters, and to utilize the special "Yamato Damashii" rule!
