15mm Red Chinese Army Infantry Regiment for the Korean War Cold War Commander

I finally noticed I hadn't posted my Red Chinese Infantry after I posted the US and North Koreans couple years back so here they are. I painted them in mixed uniforms and various weapons from my large everlasting bits bin . Avoiding the US and UN recon planes meant that the Red Chinese would have to limit if not abandon motor vehicle transport to reduce the telltale signs of movement from aerial observation.The Red Chinese used a lot of weapons from the following countries: US,Japan,Germany, and the Soviet Union, coupled with the fact that the Army used rudimentary forms of transport to include camels most of the heavy weapons were man portable with the exception of some artillery i.e US 75 mm pack howitzers and Soviet 120 mm mortars and various Japanese guns captured during World War Two.Using these light guns and their portability the Chinese were better able to infiltrate the South during the Autumn of 1950 and spring a big surprise on General MacArthur who believed he had already won the Korean War after Inchon and the race to The Yalu.He was gravely mistaken . Enjoy the photos.
