Hi all.
There's a great post from a couple of years back where members chime in on the topic of 15mm Japanese. I'm working my way through the suggestions, but haven't come across Japanese in tropical dress. The new Eureka figures are very nice, and have a sleeves-rolled-up option, and there's the PPig loincloth warrior.

Some pictures make you think that shorts were not common:

But others look like proper uniform, shorts and shoes:

…and the above looks like "tropical dress" in the book Japanese Combat Weapons / Tantum that I found in the library.

Can anyone point me to a tropical range for 15mm Japanese?
Thanks!

Their uniform was worn through out the tropics with little change. the loincloth men are associated with static position cave defenders on the island hopping campaign.

recommended book Japanese military uniforms Ritta Nakanishi. It is the one I use (wow!)
