Have been idly looking for a manufacturer for Japanese MGs. etc…preferably in 1/76 to add to/convert old Airfix figs.(The set with a Nambu gunner is rare and don't want more 'others' just for that pose! Matchbox… just try to find!) SHQ do not have a 'small arms' set for Japanese, although they do have figure sets which would, I'm sure, be excellent. Curious. |

Have you tried SHQ Miniatures or Early War Miniatures? |

Thanks, BillyNM. Neither has Japanese Small Arms sets, but will see how EWM figs go along with 1/76. MG / Mortar teams should 'fit' ok, anyway! Trying some of their other items, too! SHQ do good stuff… already have Tank Commanders and some small arms packs for other nations. |

Thanks, both. |

Esci's old soft plastic set included the MMG which looked a lot like a French Hotchkiss – perhaps it would be worth looking at French equipment at a pinch, three foot rule and all that for 20mm. Also Brens for the Jap LMG? |

Had been considering Bren and Hotchkiss… but, thanks to Hornswoggler's link, I will have LOADS of Japanese stuff! :) |
