Over 6,000 Japanese, Koreans, and Americans died on the battlefield at the Atoll.
The Japanese Marines were called the Special Naval Landing Forces (SNLF) and belonged to the IJN Land Forces (IJN - the Imperial Japanese Navy). Formed in the late 1920's, the SNLF initially consisted of sailors with basic infantry skills, not Marines. However, later the training course was improved and the sailors armed with better equipment for maritime operations. When WWII began, there were a total of 16 SNLF units, but 5 more units were formed during the war.
On board the Japanese Imperial Marines wore standard IJN blue or white uniforms. On land the uniform was similar to that of the Imperial Japanese Army (a green tunic with one or two breasted pockets and a stand and fall collar, as well as a white trimmed T-shirt and green long trousers). Also, the Marines wore red thin belts called "Senninbari". Senninbari was believed to bring good luck and protect its wearer from bullets.
About 2,500 men of the 7th Sasebo SNLF took part in the Battle of Tarawa. Together with 2,000 base personnel they killed over 3,000 US Marines.
The kit represents three Japanese Marines armed with 6.5 mm Meiji type 38 rifles and one Japanese marine officer with a sword, all running to attack the enemy. One of the marines has been hit by enemy fire.

Master Box 1:35 - LRDG in North Africa, WWII era - Plastic Figure Model Kit #3598
Originally called the Long Range Patrol (LRP), the unit was founded in Egypt in June 1940 by Major Ralph A. Bagnold, acting under the direction of General Archibald Wavell. Bagnold was assisted by Captain Patrick Clayton and Captain William Shaw. At first the majority of the men were from New Zealand, but they were soon joined by Southern Rhodesian and British volunteers, whereupon new sub-units were formed and the name was changed to the better-known Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). The LRDG never numbered more than 350 men, all of whom were volunteers.
The LRDG was formed specifically to carry out deep penetration, covert reconnaissance patrols and intelligence missions from behind Italian lines, although they sometimes engaged in combat operations. Because the LRDG were experts in desert navigation they were sometimes assigned to guide other units, including the Special Air Service and secret agents across the desert. During the Desert Campaign between December 1940 and April 1943, the vehicles of the LRDG operated constantly behind the Axis lines, missing a total of only 15 days during the entire period. Possibly their most notable offensive action was during Operation Caravan, an attack on the town of Barce and its associated airfield, on the night of 13 September 1942. However, their most vital role was the 'Road Watch', during which they clandestinely monitored traffic on the main road from Tripoli to Benghazi, transmitting the intelligence to British Army Headquarters.
With the surrender of the Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943, the LRDG changed roles and moved operations to the eastern Mediterranean, carrying out missions in the Greek islands, Italy and the Balkans. After the end of the war in Europe, the leaders of the LRDG made a request to the War Office for the unit to be transferred to the Far East to conduct operations against the Japanese Empire. The request was declined and the LRDG was disbanded in August 1945.
This kit includes the figures of 5 LRDG soldiers, it does not include the vehicle, the pictured vehicle is a Tamiya 1/35 scale kit.

Master Box 1:35 Volkssturm, Ammunition to the Frontline - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35182
The Volkssturm, a German national militia or 'people's army', was set up by the Nazi Party during the last months of World War II. Its official existence was announced on October 18, 1944, although on paper it had existed since around 1925. Hitler ordered to recruit six million men for the Volkssturm. It was staffed by males between 16 and 60 years old who were not already serving in other military units. However, the intended strength of six million was never attained. Members of the Volkssturm received only basic military training, such as a brief indoctrination and training on the use of basic weapons. Due to the lack of instructors, weapons training was sometimes done by World War I veterans. Aware of the Volkssturm's inability to withstand the attacks of the Allies, Hitler ordered that mixed battle-groups were formed from the members of the 'people's army' along with regular units.
