Dragon 6555 Japanese Army Infantry (Peleliu 1944) – 1/35 Scale Plastic Model Kit

Dragon 6555 Japanese Army Infantry (Peleliu 1944) is a richly equipped set of Japanese infantry plastic figures from World War II, ideal for historical modeling enthusiasts and those interested in recreating scenes from one of the fiercest battles in the Pacific. The set depicts realistic figures of soldiers from the Imperial Japanese Army fighting on Peleliu Island in 1944 during the Allied landing operation. The models faithfully reproduce historical uniforms, equipment, and weaponry, based on original sources, photographs, and documentation of the era.

The Dragon 6555 set includes several figures (usually four soldiers) made in precise 1/35 scale, which allows for perfect compatibility with World War II dioramas and military collections. All parts are made from high-quality plastic, ensuring easy assembly, durability, and excellent detail on every element. The kit also features a wide selection of extra weaponry — Arisaka rifles, hand grenades, backpacks, ammo pouches, and distinct Japanese Army helmets.

Historically, the battle for Peleliu took place between September and November 1944—at the height of Pacific warfare. The island was one of the most strongly defended Japanese positions, and its capture by US Marine Corps forces became one of the toughest and bloodiest battles of the entire campaign, due to the determination and training of the defenders from the Imperial Japanese Army.
