When I was in Hgh School, I received a box from a Korean model company which is virtually a copy of this. Even the contents were a straight copy of the Tamiya kit. Albeit, the box print was horribly blurry -indicating it as a "photocopy" of the Tamiya Box. The figures themselves needed a lot of clean up. I wasn't aware of Academy Models back then but I suspect it was one of their earlier kits (the Company logo was only in Korean)
Consider that I also unboxed the 4 man kit as well but that one came with one Flamethrower so in the end, will need to get another box of either. Thanks for watching!

Nice work on these G.I.s, Josh. Even 50 years ago the Tamiya stuff was quality.
Thanks, James! I have to admit, these were a pleasure to assemble and paint. They hold up very well. The new kits are even better!
This brought back happy memories Josh, they look excellent mate
Always appreciate your support, Sean! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing! I think Academy has come a long way. I just purchased my first Academy kit recently (Jagdpanzer 38T). Appreciate you watching!
Nice unboxing. The look a bit more realistic than the usual BA figures. 🤔
They definitely look nicer than the standard Warlord Bolt Action figures. Thanks, Bjorn!
That's a great looking kit
I agree wholeheartedly, Justin! Thanks, as always, for your support!
Nice kit
Wholeheartedly agree, Lucian! Thanks for watching!
Surprising that Tamiya, who obsessed over authenticity in models, would only give you 8 men when a squad of that time was 12. You need another sprue!
