Hi , friends.
I am working with "forgotten" WWII troops. These are my version for the amusement, of the Dutch in East Indian. It took a lot of work to make the Madsen short-barreled machine gun used by them. Hope you like it.
Regards.

An interesting addition to the figures would be th so-called Klewang, a short sabre, based on the local type of machete that was used for field craft and combat. It was often worn by KNIL troops.
