Title: newly released. IJA cyclists!
Post by: CompanyB on 15 February 2013, 03:10:00 AM

Available now...8 different models!   unmounted bikes coming as well for March.

In its 1937 invasion of China, Japan employed some 50,000 bicycle troops. Early in World War II, their southern campaign through Malaya en route to capturing Singapore in 1941 was largely dependent on bicycle-riding soldiers. In both efforts, bicycles allowed quiet and flexible transport of thousands of troops, who were then able to surprise and confuse the defenders. Bicycles also made few demands on the Japanese war machine, needing neither trucks nor ships to transport them, nor precious petroleum.

lovely looking minis - if I had any skill at modifying I would consider getting some to turn in to VC  :?

Anything after 1906 really isn't my cup of tea but these are a great idea and look rather good  8)
