Type 92

The type 92 70mm Battalion Gun was a howitzer adapted by the Imperial Japanese Army in the year 2592 (1932 in the Western Calendar). It was intended to fulfil the role of a direct fire howtizer, but could also function as a mortar due to the extreme elevation capabilities of the gun’s barrel. the original version had wooden spoked wheels, but were later equipped with stamped sheetmetal wheels. The Type 92 saw extensive action during the various campaigns on mainland Asia as well as in defence of the far-flung island defences in the Pacific.

NEW RELEASE: Type 1 47mm Anti-Tank Gun

Type 1

Our first mini kit featuring a Japanese weapon comes in the form of the Type 1 47mm Anti-Tank Gun. Introduced by the Imperial Japanese Army to replace smaller anti-tank guns dating which the 1930’s that were found lacking during clashes with Soviet forces in northern Manchuria. The Type 1 incorporated many advanced design features, including low-profile carriage with split tails and a semi-automatic breech mechanism. The Type 1 was designed to combat light tanks, and it was only able to penetrate the armor of the American Sherman tanks in vulnerable flank areas. Nevertheless, the Type 1 was used in great numbers in the defence of Japan’s Pacific possessions.

NEW RELEASE: M2A4 Light Tank (USMC)

M2A4

The M2 Light Tank devopled during the 1930’s for the US Army and was largely a test bed for several different design concepts. The M2A4 was the final iteration of the M2 light tank and it had a single turret armed with a 37mm anti-tank gun and coaxal .30 cal machine gun. It was also armed with four additional .30 caliber machine guns in varius locations. The M2A4 formed the pattern for what would evelove into the M3/M5 Stuart light tank, which went into mass production shortly before the outbreak of World War II. By the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, the M2 was largely regulated to training purposes. However, some US Marine units sent to Guadalcanal still had M2A4s in their inventory, where they performed admirably next to M3s during the hard-fought campaign to capture and hold the island.
