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.

  3. 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.

  9. 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.
