Last night I finished the remaining Japanese infantry, mainly heavy weapons. There is a light mortar and light machine gun, both by Airfix; also a heavy machine gun. Two more Airfix charging infantry finish off this batch.
I am not too sure where the heavy machine gun came from, possibly BMC, but I may be wrong.
I have now emptied my toy box of Airfix Japanese and Australians. I would like to do a few more, so keeping my eye open for some bargains on line.
Lovely work once more, a real blast from the past for me. I have never seen the HMG team before, they fit well with the Airfix ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Donnie. It seems that the machine gun team is from CTS.
DeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteThe HMG team looks to be the one available from Classic Toy Soldiers: https://www.classictoysoldiers.com/cgi-bin/ctsc6/rtl/phd.cgi?Autoincrement=001798
Their German HMG team has the same poses for the gunner and assistant.
Ah yes, I had forgotten about CTS. I have a few more figures from the same source.
DeleteThey look fabulous. The contrast paints work really well on the light khaki uniforms, and puttees are just great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. You would never guess with the paint names - Pallid bone and Malignant Green!
