Hexagonal Japanese Pillboxes (28mm) are the ideal addition to any Pacific battlefield. Protect your lines of communication or hinder an enemy attack route.

First encountered amongst the extensive defences on Betio Island, Battle of Tarawa in 1943, they were used as a command post for the primary beach defences. These pre-fabricated 1/4 inch steel, six-sided, truncated pyramids with double walls were designed to be reinforced with sand and concrete then camouflaged. Inside, these pillboxes had an upper and a lower compartment. The upper compartment was designed for an observer or commander whilst the lower compartment was designed to house two machine guns.

Also possibly used on Kiska in the Aleutian Islands.

Supplied unassembled and unpainted in kit form with full instructions.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ava O. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these MDF pillboxes fit into my jungle terrain—the 28mm scale is spot-on for wargaming. The hex shape gives them a solid, historical feel that blends nicely with my other Pacific defenses.

Richard ★★★★★

I was surprised how sturdy these MDF pillboxes are right out of the box, and the hex shape fits perfectly into my defensive line. The firing slots are cleanly cut, so my 28mm figures slot in without any wobble.

Harper ★★★★★

The 28mm scale is dead-on for my Pacific table, and the hexagon design gives them a really distinctive silhouette that stands out from standard bunker kits. They took paint and weathering washes without any fuss, so they look properly battle-worn in under an hour.
