Early 1930s Japanese SNLF artillery?

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hello All

You can't get a more specific topic than that!!

I was looking through some photos of Japanese SNLF in Shanghai, 1932 and, not being a knowledgeable type about Japanese weapons, I was wondering if anybody could give their opinions on suitable proxies for the artillery types shown.

The first looks like a mountain gun type, just wondering if any of the Boer War guns could do a passable imitation:-



The other looks heavier:-



Note the helmets, I may be able to do head swaps with British helmets for these types.

Also here's an interesting photo with an armoured car



Cheers, any info/guesses/suggestions appreciated.

Not entirely sure what RJ4 Russo-Japanese War Japanese Artillery consists of but I'd expect it to look somewhat similar to the top picture - anyone have a picture of that pack?

Hello All

No further progress on the artillery but I did find a page that deals with the armoured car:-

Apparently they were built within the Shanghai Concession and based on the Rolls Royce AC. There were at least 8 built in the 1920s and possibly another series built in the 1930s.

Incidentally does the JP33 Japanese 75mm field gun come with a separate gun shield? Could it be dragooned as the larger field piece?

Cheers
