Battle of Singapore



This figure represents an Imperial Japanese soldier of The Japanese Twenty-Fifth Army in WWII, noted for its role in the Battle of Malaya and Battle of Singapore. Very difficult to find was the Arisaka rifle.

The Arisaka Rifle is a family of Japanese military bolt-action rifles, in production from approximately 1898 until the end of World War II in 1945. The most common specimens include the Type 38 rifle chambered in the 6.5x50mm Arisaka cartridge, and the Type 99 rifle chambered in the 7.7x58mm Japanese cartridge.
