Anybody know what the Peter Pig LW German is supposed to be doing in the Flamethrower set? What is he carrying? The middle figure in this picture: picture |

He's operating the flamethrower, I would say. It's a two-man weapon, and the chap with the tank on his back doesn't do the aiming. There would be a flexible hose between them. The two figures don't really look like they're designed to go together though, do they? So I may be wrong. |

Yeah if that's the case the figures don't fit together too well… I've split mine up amongst my Stormtrooper Battalions and hoped that no one looks too closely… |

I think you are supposed to bend the tube coming out of the tank carrier's hands so the two do line up. Is that possible? |

I've just had a relook and it appears that you can bend the pipe to make it a two man flamethrower. Oops, that means I've done the two other Stormtrooper battalions wrong… |
