I've used a Third World Regular with the LAW slung for a Carl Gustav with the Kuwaiti force, but now need an SPG-9 for the Iraqi heavy weapons platoon. Only thing that comes close is the recoilless rifle in the NVA and VC heavy weapons packs. With a little filing, I think I can shave down the bush hats of the crew into berets. I'll need something similar for the Egyptians for the '73 War sooner or later. Sort of amazed that nothing from GHQ or CinC covers this. Any suggestions? Mikey, I think your the expert for this sort of thing.

I'll take a look at them. The one pack of HR moderns I have are the Warsaw Pact Infantry and they seem to fit pretty well with GHQ, size wize. Thanks.

tom all you need is the mount from the 57mm lt rr from the NVA or VC packs ..replace it with the right size metal or plastic rod or as suggested try either H&Rs or GHQs Modern Idividual soviet heavy weapons pack or scotia grendal they fit in nicely to SG has a generic heavy weapons range that includes ATG,RR,Mortars and many more ....Mikey

Thanks. I've got to look into all these options. I've limited myself to GHQ and CinC for the most part. There are so many ranges out there, but few with images of their products. The GHQ BTR-50s came with a tripod mount RR of some sort, so I need to look at that again, too. Already borrowed a DsHK from the Technicals truck set to use as a weapon like what my Seals encountered in the Cincycon game. May have to get another pack of those trucks, or get with GHQ about their parts sales and just get a sprue of them. Need a couple AA mounts for Hamburger Hill.
