■Product Description
The Kwantung Army was a unit that originated from the security forces that guarded the Kwantung Leased Territory (the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula) and the South Manchuria Railway (Mantetsu) area of China, which were inherited from the Russian Empire after Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War. Initially, the unit was small in size, but it underwent repeated expansions and reinforcements, and at its peak, it had nearly 800,000 soldiers. In the Nomonhan Incident, units under the command of the Kwantung Army played a central role, with over 20,000 soldiers engaging in fierce battles against the Soviet army.
This kit reproduces four soldiers in combat wearing the so-called Showa 5th year uniform, a type of uniform with a stand-up collar that was standardized in 1930 and was still widely seen during the Nomonhan Incident. The uniforms were measured from actual uniforms in our possession, and the way the gaiters are wrapped is also accurately reproduced. Rifles and helmets are precisely reproduced using a laser processing machine. Decals for rank insignia and collar insignia are included.
