Found it! The original Airfix magazine article I based all that Japanese equipment on!
So, in the spirit of Fair Usage purposes/Educational and Research, this is it. Further, although I was convinced the article had been cut out, it was in fact still intact in the magazine!

| From April, 1965 - so I was doing these conversions when I was still 13 (just!) |

| The article was actually by C.O.Ellis |

| Nothing really to add to this - I'll just let the article speak for itself. |
Marvellous 😁…
ReplyDeleteI think I’ve got that issue as well…
I love these how to do articles… you don’t really see them in modern magazines that often.
All the best. Aly
There isn't really the need any more - which I think is a pity.
DeleteI really enjoyed seeing the article, thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure.
DeleteSplendid Rob, I wish that I had seen this as a schoolboy, as it was a few years before I discovered Airfix Magazine. Did the article continue on page 255 ?
ReplyDeleteI have seen somewhere that the barrage mortar was actually a crude AA weapon !
Best wishes,
Nick
Well spotted - yes it does, for some reason I missed that! I'll put it in!
DeleteMany thanks, Rob, I am now having to restrain myself from resurrecting a long gone project using WWII Japanese figures !
DeleteBelatedly, Nick
