« on: January 17, 2020, 08:50:10 AM »
Hello

Looks like a Milan that hasn't been loaded?? At first I thought it was a GMG but if the tubes on the left are a part of the set then I'm guessing it's a type of launcher.

MILAN would be my guess as well

Is it a TOW set to go with the Jeep?  The round containers have a plug port for test equipment (i think) on the top and lack the end 'caps' of a Milan.  The other objects would be the tripod for dismounted use and the traversing unit the launch tube and site are mounted on.

thanks to all to your replies...if it's a Tow i suppose a figure brandishing the tube in two or  single castings is probably lacking..in any case i could say that's not probably a Milan cause the Milan figures from Skytrex, of which i have some, are single castings..while the only one from Platoon 20 is a lying Falkland's British soldier with the tube attached to the figure and a with a low tripod...anyway many thanks to all also for your patience as, as you already noticed from my frequent questions on modern equipment, even if i like various Cold war conflicts and in general asymetrical wars, i'm still   principally a Colonial wargamer...so, from a gaming point of view, a sort of zulu or fuzzy wuzzy  trying to understand how to handle a guided rocket launcher... ;)
