Where are you going to find an Arisaka (or how are you going to build one)? And a Japanese uniform in Size American?

:-p Not to mention, enough other people interested in doing Japanese to justify doing it?

Im not trying to pooh-pooh your thing - I'm just trying to look at it from a 'realistic' point of view. Something tells me that most (if not all) WWII Airsoft events in the area are going to be European Theatre events . . .

Japanese uniforms are also more expensive, and not as widely available..

The Imperial Marines that were required to be 6' or over, if I'm recalling my high school history correctly. I remember quotes about "The biggest damn Japs I ever saw." Can't help you with the white thing.
