I think the prone LMG operator from Hong Kong clones of the Airfix Russians could prove an excellent basis for conversion as a missile operator. Depending on the decade I would suggest considering modelling the following:<br />1960s Swiss/German Cobra system or Sagger<br />1970s Milan or the Russian AT-4<br /><br />LAWs could be modeled by a piece of small plastic rod on the back of an infantry figure and TOW is probably best used as a vehicle mounted system.Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-11288889413288804272022-01-02T21:02:00.494+13:002022-01-02T21:02:00.494+13:00Hi Hugh - if they were as full of character as the...Hi Hugh - if they were as full of character as the 20mm figures then I can see why!<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if the acquisition of Skytrex by Warlord Games will result in any of the Firefight 20 ranges being put back in production.Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-49979587790472017562021-12-19T05:13:45.526+13:002021-12-19T05:13:45.526+13:00I had a load of Skytrex micro-armour when I was yo...I had a load of Skytrex micro-armour when I was younger, I sold them to a friend for a tenner when I was 16 and have regretted it ever since!<br /><br />HHugh Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689023221814673819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-9864539595595958912021-12-18T21:58:30.329+13:002021-12-18T21:58:30.329+13:00A very nice set of troops Brian.

I particularly like those SAGGER teams. I've been meaning to add such ilk (that or LAW or TOW) to my Tchagai troops, using perhaps the HK knock-off LMG figures as operators. Theuy won't look quite right but they wouldn't look that bad either, methinks. <br /><br />Speaking of which, I'm thinking, once the 'Long Live the Revolution' campaign is finally done and dusted (one more battle to fight), then another back-history campaign might be in order, with hordes of Nimruz fighters equipped with 'upgraded' Second Global War 'Collective Peoples' military equipment. Early 1970s possibly. It has been in the pipeline for a while, pending other projects being cleared away...<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
