Cheap home-made Japanese artillery.

 I've already mentioned these but since then I've done a bit more work. Also, this post will look at them in a little bit more detail.

The current batch - still working on some of the crews.

37mm anti tank gun. The one on the right was bought in an artillery set many years ago The one on the left is totally scratch built from card, plastic rod/tubing and Tiger tank road wheels.

Model 41 75mm infantry gun. One of these was in the artillery set mentioned earlier - I thought that was the gun on the right, now I'm not so sure, could be another scratch build... Again, some had Tiger wheels, some I did find spoked wheels for - used to have quite a few of these!

Model 92 70mm howitzer battalion gun. Again, Tiger wheels - should really have drilled a few holes in the wheels but didn't bother!

How crude do you want them? Matchstick trail, the wheels are drawing pins.

Model 11 37mm gun - about as simple as it's possible to get. As far as I can find this is the sole survivor of a considerable number!

Airfix have a number of figures that make useful gun crew. Likewise, the one on the right can be used for simple grenade launcher crew when not firing artillery pieces. Cut down the rifle of the one at the back and you get someone dropping a mortar bomb down the tube.
