Although we have not counted everything, the hand-painted American and Japanese soldiers total almost 100 so set is most likely complete. One small platform appears to have had a few figures glued to recesses as designed, as recesses show lt. glue residue/paint loss. Other than this defect, contents appear overall Exc. A wonderfully designed and elaborate set.
