Overview of the 1/16 Desert Infantryman Kit

The Tamiya 1/16 Modern US Infantryman captures the layout of modern combat clothing and kit in a compact figure. The sculpt highlights uniform creases and tactical load-bearing equipment, reflecting an accurate desert loadout when built and painted.

Realism in Small Scale and Moveable Elements

Assembly provides pose flexibility so the included M16A2 rifle can be shown in action or relaxed at the side. The presence of transparent pieces for goggles and night vision plus multiple pouches and straps helps create a convincing finished display.

Presence on the Shelf and Accessory Detail

Completed height is approximately 110mm, giving solid shelf presence for a 1/16 figure. The kit comes with items such as a gas mask carrier, combat knife and hydration tube, allowing modellers to layer details and personalise the final scene.

Standard acrylic or enamel model paints work well. Use a light base, then layered washes and dry-brushing to bring out fabric texture for desert tones.
Yes. The kit is well suited to modellers with some experience who want to practice small-part assembly and fine painting at 1/16 scale.
Mask clear components before painting surrounding areas, and consider assembling optics last. Use gentle handling and a soft cloth when polishing clear parts.
