Rounding off the current batch of Japanese kit is this Type 4 15cm Howitzer. This model is another from the Irregular range, and sports the same camo scheme as the tanks I painted earlier in the year. I expect it is completely inaccurate, but it just looked a bit dull in plain green.
The crew figures are part of the batch of Naval Landing chaps I picked up last year. They are Raventhorpe castings and are so nicely painted that no further input was required from me.
This is by far the heaviest gun that my Japs are ever likely to have available!
That's a little better! Nice crew figures too!

ReplyDeleteI thought this might be more your sort of thing.
Great painted canon Tim ;-)
ReplyDeleteNever seen these figures before.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I have quite a few Raventhorpe figures - they don't have much 'showroom appeal' as bare castings but paint up really nicely. Some lovely poses too - like the gunner with hands over his ears.

ReplyDeleteI can't take any credit for the figures as I bought them already painted.
So the Japanese do have some big guns! Nicely done. The figures do look good.
ReplyDeleteNice looking gun and team. I know what you mean with the "wether it´s historically correct" painting. I used to worry about getting unit colours right etc until I thought sod it, my figs, my interpretation.
ReplyDeletelooks good to me.

ReplyDeleteEven Don likes this one, so it must be OK!

ReplyDeleteQuite right Paul - I field some particularly outlandish toys just to annoy the 'rivet counters'.
Wow man those look great.

ReplyDeleteYou are very kind. With two divisions of Japs finished I really need to get them into a game soon!
