Japanese anti-tank troops and another Type 92 MMG

Continuing with the busy weekend of painting, yesterday I managed to polish off another couple of blisters of Assault Group Japanese

First of all a second Type 92 machine gun to go with the one I already have:




The other blister was a pack of anti-tank teams armed with all manner of suicidal weapons, first a couple of pole mines:



 A Molotov Cocktail seems almost sane by comparison:




Finally, a wait in a hole with a 105mm shell and run at any tank that dives past......




I also took the opportunity to rephotograph the figures from my earlier post, I think they have come out rather better this time using natural daylight:

  1. Very cool additions, Paul. Love the Universal Carrier, and those are some very unconventionally armed Japanese - the guy peaking out of the hole is awesome. Best, Dean

  2. Thanks Dean, the carrier is a lovely model, but sure is a pain to clean up and stick together, lots of wafer thin flaps of resin even after a long time with scalpels, files and sand paper.
    It seems that being Japanese anti-tank specialist was not a job with great prospects.
