Reinforcements have arrived for my US troops in our ongoing Infantry Aces Campaign at Metropolitan Wargamers in Brooklyn, NY. Check out Brooklyn Wargaming for my new mortar support platoons from the Plastic Soldier Company. link

I assume proportionally the 15mm version of the 4.2in mortar is significantly overscale like its 1/72 big brother from PSC: link Perhaps not as noticable in the smaller scale… |

It is a bit bigger than 4' at scale. All I can think is its a matter of making it big enough so the supporting monopod isn't so small as to be unworkable -- it's pretty delicate as it is. |

I think you're probably right. Trouble is in 1/72 it looks a bit like a piece of ACW seige artillery ! |

Drilling the muzzle will probably help, but I somehow suspect that PSC ended up rescaling their 1/100 4.2" mortar to 1/72 instead of starting at 1/56 or 1/72 and adjusting minimal pieces (monopod) for survivability. |
