    The hilltop, landing craft, tank are all first rate. However, if you want to put together a great diorama/playset/wargame you will need to do a few things. First, the figures. The Japanese are very large and not very well sculpted. The marines are much better sculpted and perfect 1/32 scale. Better to add in the Marx, Airfix, CTS and MPC Japanese figures. They are thin as they should be and in 1/32 scale. On off 4 makers of the Japanese you will get great poses, including officer with samarai sword, radio man, 2 man MG team, Mortar man, many charging with bayonets poses and the best, an actual charging with a rising sun flag! Total of 41 poses on all 4 makers and you can get them relatively easy, the Marx and CTS are currently made. The Airfix and MPC are a bit tougher to get but Ebay has many. Finally, you may want to open your wallet and get the Plastic Platoon artillery with 3 man crew. That's the only thing that was missing from my want list. It's very expensive but worth it, you'll have a perfect Japanese force. As for the US army/marines? Plenty. TSSD, CTS, Marx, Austin miniatures. You'll get officers, heavy MG team, mortar guy, radio men, bazooka men, flamethrower men and a 3 man heavy artillery team. Total of 52 poses and you can get more from Marx too. Also, add in the Marx palm trees and ferns and their Battleground accessories (ammo and medical cases, oil barrels, sandbag emplacements, land mines, etc.). You'll have the perfect set.

    The Sherman looks like an M4A2 or A3 Sherman. It has a welded hull unlike the M4A1 which had a cast hull, dry ammo stowage because it has the armour plates on the side, a 1 peice transmission or lower plate, big hatch and VVSS suspension, the model is a little hard to identify as the M4A2 has a small hatch, most likely a mid war variant as Ford produced small hatch Shermans until they left the Sherman program in 1943 but still supplying engines to Crysler and Fischer Body Factory, judging by the front gear, it's probably a Fischer Body Sherman. Correct me if I am wrong and my source is from Eta320's video about the Sherman variants and Google searches.

    Maybe I missed it but the BMC figures for this set were taken from King and Country sets. The D day sets are who knows ? Simply standard plastic army men. The BMC marines are pretty large. The best IMHO are still the Marx figures, while BMCs Marines are equal their Marines have the better pose selection for combat /Marx Marines are also very good and BMC has recast and sold them under their logo .
