WWII US Marine Shotgunner

Continuing a deep dive into the Marine Corps in WWII, I wanted to tackle a really unique Marine. This figure is largely based on the well known photo of the 7th Marine Regiment landing on Okinawa in 1945, most notably the grunt front and center, carrying a trench shotgun. 

Featuring the P1941 HBT utility uniform, Navy "Boondocker" boots, Marine contract rifle belt and canteen cover standard with my last figure. I've added the Marine Corps specific contract for the WWI vintage grenade vest, possibly used to carry shotgun shells, and the Marine P1941 pack system with frogskin poncho folded inside. This figure again, would be appropriate for most WWII builds, although I've based the art specifically on the Okinawa reference. I've also opted to include the wrap-around, inside the leg artwork for the Marine leggings, generally worn during landing operations, but removed shortly after. Most notably, these distinct leggings led to the infamous "yellowlegs" nickname for Marines later in Korea.
