Tamiya 32526 - 1/48 British Infantry Europe  [32526]

Concerning the British Infantry

British infantry squads had been composed of 10 guys arranged across the Bren light machinegun, and contained a machinegun group, formed by the second-in-command, device gunner and loader, and a rifle team made up of 6 riflemen. The squad frontrunner commanded both groups. The infantry uniform had been marked by the distinctively shaped Mark II helmet, while the alleged 'Battledress' of brief wool coat, leggings and shoes ended up being worn by all branches of the military. A denim version of exactly the same battledress ended up being worn in summer season, while leather jerkins were used in winter. Tank teams at first wore equivalent khaki battledress aided by the addition of a black colored beret, but in the subsequent phase of war this is mostly supplanted by coveralls.
