WW2 Japanese SNLF

February catch up part 2 - Many years back in the mists of time I painted some Japanese infantry and copied a picture I had. Being older and somewhat wiser I realised that the only units with "green" uniforms were the Special Naval Landing Forces. So having kept the existing figures I added enough extras to make a full platoon. Hopefully it will come in handy for various island hopping games and if not it can always be used as an extra platoon for big games.
I tarted up the old figures and the extra figures are Strelets and hopefully they look fairly consistent.

Those look very nice indeed. The basing definitely helps show off your paint-jobs. I wasn't aware of the Japanese green jacket uniform myself, so I learnt something new too. :-)

Excellent. Just goes to show nothing is ever wasted. The few units I got rid of years ago I’ve always regretted, you just never know what use they may have in the future.

In action in China in the 30's and Tarawa, plus some tough actions vs the Aussies in New Guinea. Lots of opportunities to use them on the table. Nice.
