I bought this Tamiya set while we where on a visit in Italy. And, since our neighbours had a long house-warming party I started assembling the figures. The kit consists of 2 bags. The first bag contains the figures themselves. The parts are grouped together by figure. That means no long search for parts. The second bag consists of 2 sprue of the same kind, the accessories. Cool, we will have some leftovers for the spare parts box.

The back serves also the instruction sheet
Overall I think the quality is typical Tamiya, nicely done, well engineered. Only few seams and flush lines needed cleaning before assembly.Due to the fact that the bodies are grouped on the sprue this part of the assembly leaves no questions open unless you want to customise the figures.
The 2 parts bags
And the complete parts
For example you should have left over a Bren Mk. II Machine gun, a Sten Mk. II Machine pistol and a Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk. I Rifle. A couple of small parts like ammo puches and field cups (yes, they are included) and a helmet should be “obsolete” as well.
