That's all folks.

1/144 (10/12mm) British/ANZAC/Chindits for Pacific, figures are mainly new Pendraken jungle/tropical kit for late WW2 and some of the new infantry from the Korean War range. Minifigs are only the 6lb guns, a few command figures and spotters.

Pendraken 4.2" and 3" mortars with limbers and loader teams.

Infantry and command main force.

Boyes AT rifles and recce/spotters.

Command - red backed flags are from Chindit officer shoulder flashes to distinguish as there was no flag.

More command.

Infantry with 2" mortars to the front

Bazooka teams (not historically accurate but no-one does a tropical kit PIAT in this scale and can be used for Korea)

Command close up.

Japanese Q1 Build 2019

Japanese Build for Q1 2019:

A set of 75mm AA guns from Butlers Printed Models with Minifigs 12mm WW2 crew.

Close up on Butlers AA gun - decent kit with minimal print lines.

Converted shore guns - Pendraken Italian 90mm AA guns twinned up with Minifigs crew; these are used to represent the later emplacements where ship guns were dismounted from damaged destroyers and cruisers for shore batteries.

Bandage dyed green for camo net, flaked green tea and rescued garden trimmings when my wife was murdering Wisteria for the extra cover on top. Plenty of ammo!.

Business end.
