Guadalcanal 1942 in 20mm for Rapid Fire! rules - (Part 3) First Japanese infantry battalion

 

The Japanese infantry was inside boxes, still to be based properly and without breathing for many years. Only the stamina of the emperor´s soldiers could do that! This humble battalion is made of Airfix (some are downsized copies from the 1/32nd box) and Matchbox. Most of the figures are with the coat but others are in shirt order for variety. The radio is the small 94-6 hanging from the chest of the Matchbox figure waving the rifle. The LMGs are the same as others Airfix marching figures, one with the LMG and another with the ammo box. 

The Matchbox poor renderings of the model 92 7,7mm gun were slighly improved with an elevanting wheel and an ammunition strip. 

Next: more Japanese infantry and maybe some more artillery.
