I'm not sure which one I really like though. T he Quad or just the dual one used in the Ardennes. Robert

Thought the armoured shield was a recognised/stanandardised/readily available attachment anyway, rather than an ad hoc conversion? |

I wouldn't be surprised LOL. They were mounting those on anything that moved LOL. And of course there is the information on the Panzerfaust armed aircraft in my "Bazookas on Piper Cubs," Topic thread, TMP link Robert |

That is really cool!
Never knew. Will have to make some up for my Army Men games (CAD: Cardboard Aided Design; should be able to make up the armor plates easy enough, using cereal boxes, as well as some wooden dowel Bazookas -- fun stuff). Thanks for sharing! Cheers! |

Yankee Sidkafizzes! It looks like Bazooka Charlie was not alone. I would like to add that your rules are an utter failure for not having Rules for these. |

Nice idea. I really only do eastern front but the 50% off warlord sprues a month ago saw me land 30 odd yanks and more than I would need weapon sprues. Those extra zookas now have an idea simple enough to copy. Got them to have something else to spice things up. Off to eBay to find a jeep for about $10. USD Xmas just gets better. Danke |
