You are most welcome. The faces are what sold me on this set. The heads make them look quite lifelike.

I just realized, I forgot to mention that there is no paint guide included other than what appears on the box top. No paint brand or numbers are provided. This link http://hikishop.com/wwii-japan-ija-type-98-t98-summer-field-trousers-pants-p-1005.html has replica uniforms that appear to be the most preferred by reenactors for authenticity. For the motorcycle team, medium green pant, buff or tan shirt, khaki hat and field drab leg wrap. For the rifleman, khaki uniform, faded olive drab helmet. Brown leather boots. Hope this helps.

You mean they had Japanese who pointed into the distance too? I thought that was a Wehrmacht monopoly!
