Fantastic value

This starter box for Japan was very fun to work with and both the metal sculpts and plastic infantry are very modern and high quality. The box contains more than enough infantry to run your list however you want really. 'Suicide anti-tank team' is just the one solider with a lunge mine and you can fit 3 in a full list, so you should build all 3. Other than that there's plenty more poles to also make 3 flag bearers, there are multiple LMGs and mortars if you want, as well as a spotter or more officers, since each plastic infantry sprue contains swords. Although, I used the swords to denote NCOs.

The tank is also a full multi-part plastic kit, similar to an Airfix and can actually be built in 2 separate ways, as the cheaper HE artillery or the Shin-Hoto 'new gun' variety, which is more of an AT role. It would also not be too hard to magnetise the turret to use both.

All in all I'm very pleased with the set, If you're considering buying a starter set this is certainly one of the better ones in both content and quality of all the minis included. The Japanese can basically use everything in the box (apart from maybe the 'Shin Hoto' tank variety) from Early war all the way to 1945, since the equipment is basically the same everywhere.
