Viet cong support weapons
« on: 06 June 2010, 10:54:40 PM »
Improvised rocket launcher, TAG minis, spare rocketpods from a 1/48 huey



Medium machingun
Was a bit annoyed with the TAG .30 cals so made this instead, TAG minis and maxim



paintjobs are quickies, but wanted to show the "builds" ;)

Added
Bolt action Zis-3 TAG NVA-mortar crew and a eureka musorian to guide the fire :)
Thanks to dsmith for the musorian, he was perfect for this imho :)

Nice work. Brave man those chaps crewing the rocket launcher. I wonder what the Vietnamese expression is for 'BBDA CLEAR!!' ?

Dflynsqrl, always adding, just haven't painted much last few months :/

Carlos, i figured the political officer-looking fellow was there to make sure the rockets were fired ;)

or they use a timed fuse, but that's not as fun as 2,5 meters of cord and a button :D
