These tiny guns were widely used by Japanese forces for fire support. Being too mean to buy an expensive and fragile plastic kit and too impatient to order a 3D print I decided that scratchbuilding was the way to go. In the end I built three of them and gave one to
PHW.
The crew for this one were adapted from the Tamiya Japanese Infantry set - often to be found startlingly cheap at under £1 a figure!
The second crew are cut-about Aitfix figures, complete with sword-waving officer!
The pre-paint photos give you a better idea of the construction. Wheels were an issue but I had a (20mm) metal kit of a WW2 German 15cm field howitzer. The gun wheels are wider then those of the limber but I can live with that. (The third gun had wheels from another such gun). Barrels are plastic tube, trail legs bambo skewers, everything else random bits of plastic card.
