Fallschirmjäger Pak40's gun platoon(15mm)

Another unit added to my Fallschirmjäger to deal with any tank surprises.I'm kind of in a rush to finish some more Fallschirmjäger,because I'll be in a tournament end of next week and it's going to be tight.
These guns are large enough to deal with most armor the enemy will bring.I wasn't sure if I was going to camo up the guns,but decided to paint them up in the standard field colors straight off the line.
Next up is a machine gun platoon and then the headquarters.

Japanese scout surveying the land

An interesting thing about this scout is his grass/reed camouflage jacket.These were often used as a "raincoat" by Japanese fishermen and farmers,but was taken and used by the military for it's camouflage potential.

Japanese scout taking a quick glance

An interesting note Japanese scouts is the often also acted in the role of snipers,but how the Japanese employed them tactically was different from their western counterparts.The Japanese when acting in the role of snipers were a form of rearguard were their primarily mission was to slow the advance of the enemy until eliminated, while western snipers often acted as hunters of a sort with mission objectives of hit and run with a get in and get out plan of action .

Continuing on with the Japanese for the moment.So far,it's been fun experimenting with them as it's something different.I hope it's proving enjoying for some to see.I've now tried a darker green shirt and pants for a different combination and will continue to mix up the lighter and darker styles together.
