A World War II American infantryman braces in a wide fighting stance, gripping a short-handled entrenching shovel across his body like a weapon. He wears an M1 steel helmet, an olive-drab field uniform, and an inflatable assault life belt over his jacket, with the buckled belt and creased trousers of a soldier in the thick of an amphibious or field action.

The kit and aggressive pose evoke the Normandy and European campaigns, ideal for a beach assault, a foxhole line, or a village-fighting scene.

A dynamic wartime figure for a diorama, a wargaming squad, or a model railroad depicting the 1940s home front and troop movements.
