The models are made with Japanese bodies, and most of the heads are from the truck passenger frame, these heads are not as obviously "Aryan" as some of the other kits out there.


Then we have some suicide bombers. The Japanese use of suicide bombers in the second world war was actually inspired by Chinese use of them in the sino-japanese war.



Last we have some plastic reinforcements to my big metal units, an LMG team for the guys in winter uniforms, and just some random guys for the summer uniform units, so I can run them as full 14 man squads.
