<Detailed Description
Meister Yoshitaka Hirano supervised the "US" decals for the U.S. Army Infantry Reconnaissance Set released by Tamiya.
Mr. Hirano, who is particular about details, pursued/requested the decals to the utmost limit. Finally, we were able to commercialize it.
The "US" decals on the U.S. military equipment enhance the quality of the figure.
Mr. Hirano's instructions for the "US" decals were to use colors that would blend well with the figure, and to use a matte varnish finish.
The "US" decals are versatile and can be used on different items.
We also added yellow stencils for the 50 caliber and 30 caliber AMMO boxes and crates.
This decal has become a coveted decal for modelers who are particular about their work. Please check its splendor with a magnifying glass.
Since U.S. military equipment was manufactured in all kinds of factories in the U.S. and abroad, there are many different fonts, and there are many variations with no set size of letters.
In the early stages of World War I, equipment was made from items that had been produced and used during the previous World War I (inventory).
Almost all equipment was a brownish khaki color, but as the war progressed, it became more greenish, and after 1943, clothing and equipment were redesigned and became OD (olive drab).
During the transitional period, some magazine pouches had khaki bodies and OD edges, straps, and belts, and were called convertibles.
A small number of these pouches were also produced in the U.K., and were called "British-made" because of the rough material used.
The field uniform (jacket: M1941/1943 Field Jaket OD) is olive drab. The trousers were changed from brownish OD wool trousers to greenish OD M1943 cotton trousers with cargo pockets. However, there were various colors of military uniforms that faded due to the soil on the battlefield, washing conditions, sunburn, and other factors.
The English name is the official name, and the OD in the notation means olive drab.
