JAPANESE INFANTRY SUPPORT

Finally found some time to take some photos of my Infantry Support Options for my Japanese Platoon. 

These include Tank Assault team, Flame Thrower, Lung mines, Sniper, FO, Junior Leader with SMG, Type 92 70mm Infantry gun, MMG and Anti-tank Rifle.

Next, on the "to do list" are the Armoured support options.


Tank Assault Team, I removed the helmet from the figures and replaced the top of their heads with Green stick, I also modelled  the head bands, explosive charge and molotov cocktail.
Scratch built Flamethrower.
I modelled flaps for the cap for these Lung mine troops.
Sniper with Green stick camo.
Forward Observer for Mortar Barrage.
Since the Japanese SMG were rare, I only made one as Len has included it in the Japanese Support Options for one Junior Leader in the upcoming Far East supplement.


The scratch built Type 92 70mm Infantry Gun. 
All painted up and ready for action.
Scratch built MMG
Anti-tank Rifle with 5 crew.

CHEERS JOHN

  4. As always I‘m amazed by the effort you put into your projects. Instead of whining that something isn‘t readily available to buy, as we mere mortals do, you‘re forging ahead and scratch build it all on your own 😉

  11. Nice paint work. I like the sniper. There a book I was reading Tanks in Hell (its about Tarawa). you may like it. We are also planning a Pacific game. Check out blog for pics. IO felt the Warlord Japanese sets (plastic Marine and Infantry) were a bit limiting in their poses. I used your flamethrower idea - for our Marines and Japs. I also like the 70mm

    2. No pobs on the book John. Its worth it really good read. Glad you liked the Glasgow Warhog blog pics. its not bad for just the two of us ..LOL. Our Stalingrad board was a task and half at 16 foot x 6. But I cannot wait to get enough table space to get the Pacific game up and running.
      Keep painting! We will be rolling dice soon...
