If anything, Tamiay is certainly consistent with their previous figure set releases - they're still generally undersized. More like 1/50 - 1/52 scale. They make a jeep (oops! light vehicle!!) look like a 3/4 ton Dodge!

Would the uniforms of the figures (at least some of these) look in place for some landing in the Solomons/New Guinea area in late 43? Showing the army troops which were also used, not the marines, storming down the ramp of a HobbyBoss LCM 3..
