AT-3 Sagger
Quick post showing my hotch potch AT-3 Sagger Platoon stands for my Red 1980's Battalions. The nose is not quite right but I think it has the general feel of the weapon. The missile itself is a old AIM-9B Sidewinder cut down on a small box.
The 9K11 Malyutka (Russian: Малютка; little one, NATO reporting name: AT-3 Sagger) is an MCLOS wire-guided anti-tank guided missile developed in the Soviet Union. It was the first man-portable anti-tank guided missile of the Soviet Union and is probably the most widely produced ATGM of all time—with Soviet production peaking at 25,000 missiles a year during the 1960s and 1970s. In addition copies of the missile have been manufactured under various names by at least five countries.
Not at all bad! Are you going to have a guy running with one in a 'suitcase'?
ReplyDeleteA little one, that can make a big difference on the field!
ReplyDeleteNice work there Paul!

Looks fine for the scale of it. If I were to go nuts on the detailing I'd just modify the front by filing it flat and attaching a cut-down thumbtack on there, but the sheer effort involved in that might not be worth it.
ReplyDeleteThat´s a really good idea and the Milan team looks excellent...I´ve always been tempted to get the modern german inf set....maybe now...:-D

Cheers Tim, did not think about that, but I still have one more stand to construct. Nice idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thanos. AT Platoons are nasty sub units who are lurkers!
ReplyDeleteArqunisel. You are right, my laziness preveils.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate.
Hi Paul, buy it, it is full of conversion ideas.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
To be honest, in my case it'd be part laziness and part fear. The last time I tried that kind of metal cutting I ended up in hospital.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Now thats serious commitment!
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome idea! I have made a couple up and will be linking back to you so people know where I stole the idea from :)
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Thanks Brian, I am full of simple ideas, ask anyone!
