Rocket Man

I was left over with spare tube rockets from the UH-1B kits and thought I could us them, rather than just chuck them into the spares box.
First up I used the trail arms from Airfix's 6 pounder as well as the axle for the gun. Airfix/Heller GMC truck for the wheels were then added.
On top I angled the rocket pods. Pretty simple, but I think it works well.
Probably see use for my NK forces I think. That killed an hour anyway.

  1. Reminds me of the Nebelwerfer I built using drinking straws in the '70s.

  8. Good work Monty. It is a pain in the bun to work around. I am hassle free since changing to Chrome.

  9. Hi Geordie, improvisation is the mother of desperation!

    I may change it yet into a copy of a type 63 Rocket Launcher. That way I could flick a couple off to Al.

    Giddy up
