Mannequin of Japanese Soldier opinions please
Article about: My brother took the pics last weekend. Do you think this would be worth going to look at in person given the current price and assuming everything is all original as stated? Looks like there

Two quick observations. I have concerns with glossy paint on helmet. Also, tunic collar tabs most likely added post war. Rest of items are common gear
-
Helmet is repaint, binocular post war? Probably if you buy all separately you can pay less .
-
Not worth it. Just the uniform for example would only cost about $50.

Thank you for all of the information and support. Saved me a run to figure out each item. I am missing several of the items need so thought maybe a good chance. I really do not want a winter (Wool) tunic & pants though.

Nice one Type 4
I'm guessing Guy would call him a 'Private No Class' (I know Guy, usually a Pvt 2nd Class).
You could get a pocket patch to gussy him up without intruding on his pristine tunic.
Collar tabs in the original poster's pic are upside down. Jareth is not wrong about those being added post war, good call!

Rod,
I haven't heard that since retiring from the army! Thanks for the laugh.
