Why are there no kits of Japanese guns around? Japanese tanks during WW2 were poor, rarely seen and badly used, but they had a number of other weapons to fight with. So why doesn't anyone make kits of those?

Fine Molds and Pit Road make several different guns. I do not know the current availability of any of them, but they do pop up on Ebay and the Rainbow 10 site often.

Maybe you could try to get in touch with the owner of this website :
http://www.japanesearmorking.com/index.html

The site appears to be "under construction" since 2006, but who knows ???

Look over on Hobby Link Japan's site for Pit-Road and FineMolds gun kits. They seem to be mostly white metal kits rather than injected plastic.
