Fine Molds has two offerings of the World War Two type 41 artillery guns in 1/35th scale hitting the stores.
Fine Molds has released two version of the type 41 75mm Mountain gun. The first offering depicts a gun in action with a 4 members of the mountain artillery regiment; the second offering depicts a slightly different variant of the same gun in the act of being moved by a man crew of the mountain artillery regiment. The little information I can discern from Fine Molds due to the information being in Japanese; is that the type 41 75mm Mountain gun went into service with the Japanese military in 1911 and remained in service until the end of World War Two. The gun was used in areas of combat where the larger guns were too difficult to manoeuvre, areas such as mountains, woodland, marsh, and forest. This gun type equipped the mountain artillery regiments which were subordinate to the Divisional Artillery and had a crew of four to man it. I have never tackled a Fine Molds product to date but judging from the built up images these kits have potential.
