That would make sense. But why use the gun tube? Counter balance the rockets?[/quote] Keep the wheels and trails, elevating and training mechanics, skip the shield since it interferes with the rocket crates and/or the backblast from the rockets. Hmmm... what can we use to attach the rocket crates to the elevating mechanism? Reuse the gun cradle and part of the barrel or build something completely new? I think I would have reused as much as possible. With the front end of the gun sawn off it would compensate a little for the added weight of the rockets and crates. Add counterweight to get a more neutral balance for the elevating mechanism. I wonder why the didn't remove the recoil cylinder or whatever that extra tube above the barrel is? / Robin

Never look down the barrel of a weapon there, lieutenant

I like it ,

Nice find Maarten! / Robin

Thanks for the pictures. Does Rube Goldberg device come to mind? So it looks like the rocket frame is attached to the frame for the recoil cylinder not the gun. However, the recoil cylinder does not look like it is attached to the gun breach, and that metal cylinder looks like it was welded to the recoil guard. A real Frankenstein, I like it.

Interesting examples of how the Wehrmacht used whatever was on hand to deliver some measure of defensive firepower. However, think I'll wait and see if MiniArt takes the next step and gives us a new six-barreled Nebelwerfer.

What an interesting piece of improvised gear! I've never even seen photos of the German two-rocket launcher pictured here. At least it was a light and easy load to tow and deploy. The Nebelwerfer has already been more than adequately covered by another kit manufacturer whose name I can't remember just now that included optional brass barrels, over-priced rockets etc. But hey, why not Miniart seems to always have the right instincts on this and maybe there's room.

& Italeri also did the 150 mm one .... Esci (moulds used by Italeri?) / Robin

Did Italeri make their own, or use the ESCI one? I had the ESCI kit many, many years ago. WOW! That Lion Roar kit looks interesting.
