Custom Piece Miniature – World War II Imperial Japanese Army Type 98 Tunic or Greatcoat – 3D Print for LEGO Minifigure

This is a custom clothing accessory for a toy minifigure representing a World War II Imperial Japanese Army Type 98 Tunic or Greatcoat.

Although the file name may suggest a Soviet uniform, the visual details of this garment are characteristic of a Japanese soldier from that period. The tunic is a light khaki or tan color, which was the standard for the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). It features a simple fold-down collar without the colorful insignia tabs seen on Soviet uniforms. The front of the garment shows a printed single row of buttons and a wide, brown leather belt with a distinctive buckle. A single strap, likely for a rifle sling or a satchel, is printed running diagonally across the soldier’s chest and back. The Type 98 Gunto uniform was the most common service dress for Japanese soldiers throughout the Pacific War, worn in conflicts from China to the islands of the South Pacific.
