Here is a RPG gunner for my NVA force. Nice is that he has a secondary arm sculpted on . This helps with the rules I play ( Danger Close Version 2). You can read more about the rules here: link

I can never quite understand how the "undercuts" needed for something like this are achieved. If the AK or Type56 is already sculpted on then there should be a dense, solid chunk of metal between the firearm and the bearer or his RPG. The figure is really nice and somehow has a sinister look to him. I just wonder how one casts something like this. |

What surprises me is that the US tanks stood up so well to the…B40 was it? I always think of the RPG7, but I think this was something earlier. Various books on Hue, anyway, suggest that FIBA the US tanks, and even the crews, could survive a penetrating hit. I dunno. I am not happy with NVA figures on my display cabinet, but this one is superbly done. |

Even M113s could survive hits. These hollow charged weapons were less effective than many game rules imply. I understand the warhead had to strike the target almost perpendicularly or the fuse would not detonate. |

But I hope a Grunt, ROK, ARVN, etc. drops this 
before he gets to fire !
