Nice David, really good paint work, pity there is not more Japanese stuff on the market to chose from eh?
ReplyDeletethanks Al
ReplyDeleteyes i agree about the lack of models
these are old Fujimi kits - so are really simple to make- and they are pretty cheap to buy as well
there are a few resin ones around- but they can get damn expensive to buy
Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Al, great paint work.
I would say think outside the box (so to speak). M3 Stuarts and Bren Carriers as well as some Vickers light tanks were captured in some quantity during the first 6 months or so, and there are a few pictures and accounts of them being used by the Japanese.
Why not add a platoon of these to your force, M3's would look super in Japanese Cam!
Hi Paul
ReplyDeletethats a great idea to add some other items to the Japanese armoured force
I have quite a few matchboz Stuarts sitting on the shelf unbuilt in the man cave
also to add would be a couple of Panzer 1 and also sdkfz 222- there were quite a few sent to Japan in an arms exchange( not sure what Germany got back from it except supporting its tripartied arrangement in keeping the Pacific front going!!)
Yep, I do know that Nationalist China used Sd.Kfz 222's purchased from Germany, so captured examples could at a guess be in Japanese ORBATs.
ReplyDeletecorrect Paul
ReplyDeletethe japs re used a lot of captured gear so would be easy to say they impressed the tanks and equipment
i could also use some M3 halftracks or M3 scout cars as well
hope you have a great weekend
