Hi, I've finally started to paint my Imperial Japanese army! The army has been based some months ago if not years in an attempt to paint some enemies for my USMC battalions. The army consists mainly out of infantry supported by mortars, heavy machineguns and some horse drawn artillery. The miniatures have now received their first layer of uniform color and are ready to get a second!
The second battalion, I'm playing with the idea of motorizing 1 battalion with three of Raventhorpe's Japanese Isuzu type 97 trucks and adding an other small battalion equipped with bicycles for a Japanese style blitzkrieg. Raventhorpe's truck is made out of resin and has a resin base, I had hoped to find some affordable plastic kits of Japanese trucks but I wasn't able to find some. I also hope to score some cheap Airfix Ha-Go tanks for a light tank company but this also seems hopeless as they are OOP.

Looking forward to seeing the finished figs.
Are you going to put up some pics of the Marines as well?
Try Under the Bed. They have the Frontline series of Japanese vehciles and will be about the same price as Airfix.
Looking good so far, agreed with some finished figs pics comment.

Greets I hope you like them!
What rules are you using G?
I'm currently not playing just painting and collecting armies but I intend to play rapid fire with these figures.
Can't wait to see these painted!
