Here is another RPG armed NVA soldier. I needed a bit more firepower for my NVA force .

I hate to be picky but he's holding it wrong. Maybe there's a reason? Other than that good paint job. Wolfhag |

Very interesting comment. This is an RPG2, not an RPG7 (the later, much more effective and better known one). The latter has two pistol grips basically and I do see that, of the four figures in the Empress set, two are grasping them. But, for the RPG2, this is just how you hold it, as seen in the other two. Obscure bit of trivia, but it shows they have researched this so well |

I thought it looked odd as well, so I looked it up. I found images of it being held as shown, as well as being held in what we would consider the more conventional pose with the supporting palm on the interior side and wrapping around outwards. Interesting. |

Thanks for the clarification. I'm mostly familiar with the RPG-7 but the RPG-2 was the one mostly used in VN. I figured there was a reason. Wolfhag |
