Were can one find modern Soviet weapons. I am looking for the launcher and rockets for the RPG. I think Dragon makes modern Soviet shoulder weapons - AK etc. But who makes the other scourge of the battlefield the RPG-7???

There is an RPG in the Tamiya m113 ACAV, one with the IDF made ammo backpack in the DML Israeli Paratroops figure set, and also one in white metal in the old Verlinden Soviet weapons set.

The newer RPG , a LAW clone, comes with at least one of the modern Russian sets.

For some reason I thought Tank made one but can't find it on the list at modelpoint.


speaking of... can anyone tell me what is in these sets?

Hi Both,
If you go to the TANK link on the left of the screen, and select CATALOG A then PAGE 3. You'll see what you want. Can't comment on quality or price, but they look very good in the pics.

Can't help you on RPGs, but Dragon does make two accessory sets; one for AK-47 variants, and the other for AK-74 variants. Both are good and the most comprhensive plastic AK-style accessories sets out there. The sets are somewhat dated and has flash that, given the size of the guns, can be considered considerable in some areas and a pain to remove, especially on the barrels. Speaking of which the barrels are VERY fragile, but are thin and look great.

With a lot of care handling them, you have well done plastic AKs.

Like the previous post stated dragon makes a good range of soviet weopons. I have the AK-47 kit here, the "soviet motorised troops" kit . I'd try these. I don't know anything of an RPG.

The DML IDF does have an RPG, but it's more 1/32 or 1/30th scale and way oversize for 1/35 figures.

I know Legend Productions makes an RPG for their Vietnam M151 Jeep accessory set. Images are on their website.

You may also want to look into ICM and Zvesda figure sets for RPGs as well.

Dragon Viet Cong set has an RPG

I think the one in the DML VC set is a precursor to the -7
the RPG 2. But I'm not a rocket propelled grenade expert.

There is one RPG 7 in the first Tank Soviet Afghan weapons set in resin.

OK then - who sell Tank's productline?????

Hiya Frank,
In the 'TANK' advert on the left under 'CONTACTS' it lists MODEL POINT U.S. for America. Have a look it's the second from the bottom along the side of this post.
Hope I've been of some help,
Tom
