Ah - Actually, I think that's the M40, a much bigger beast.  The M67 is closer in size to a bazooka.

Yup.

This is what is being requested. The USMC used the M20 Super Bazooka in the period the US Army had the M67 RR
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

It would be nice to see one of those, although to be honest you can make a decent proxy with some  different sized pieces of plastic rod. I made a couple for ny 198os Berlin Brigade, as they continued in service there, due to perceived issues with using the M47 Dragon in an urban envionment.

US Army engineers continued to use them as did the Rangers, right through to the 1990s. The Rangers eventually replaced them with the 84mm Carl Gustav.

In Vietnam they were generally considered too heavy and were usually allocated as base defence weapons. Even the Australian Army used a few, temporarily replacing the 84mm Carl Gustav (political issues with Sweden). They were only taken out when expecting a bunker assault. I think we handed them back to the US at the end of the war, they certainly didn't serve beyond it, as the 84 was a better weapon.

Yep, that's the M20 rocket launcher, it's not the M67 RR.

I guess it would work as a good start point, but I was after a proper model, not foundation for a kit bash... :-(

That loader does not look like he has read the safety briefing on backblast.

The poncho clad troops are lovely :-* :-*
I am wondering if I might use them somewhere extremely rainy. They look suitable for standing around and saying "it is quiet tonight" etc.

I might pick some up at Colours.
