Midway and Aleutians Remembrance…a tiny contribution
Hi Folks: Here’s a small reminder of the Aleutians campaign, inspired by a Bing Images photo of a long-abandoned Japanese Type 41 75mm mountain gun on Kiska. The kit is a 1/35th offering from Fine Molds.
4 additional images. Click to enlarge.

A nice contribution to the group build – I didn’t realize it was so small until I saw the pic with your fingers under it! Nicely done in that scale.

The first time I saw the photo of the derelict artillery piece, I thought “how cool is this ?” ……………….
Now I see the photos of your completed build and the same thought enters my mind again……………….
Thanks Jim.

Nice job Bert, man that gun is really small. Any issues building it?

Great job Bert. Really like your choice of a very obscure subject from a mostly forgotten battlefield.
