Hi,
Looking for hand grenades in 1/35. NOT the usual "pineapple' style but the smooth egg shaped variety. (M-61)? Anyone know if these are available?
Thank you,
P.N.

Pretty much all of the Dragon Vietnam sets (U.S.) have M26 fragmentation grenades in them, along with M18 smoke grenades. The M26's are smooth, egg shaped, and have a single ring around the center. There is usually a good sized mold seam to remove on each one, but nothing a steady hand and sharp knife can't handle.

I don't know of any M67 grenades made in plastic (these are the ones in current use by the US Military...they are round rather than egg shaped).

Hope this helps.

Hmmm... Fuze assembly from the M26, bead from Michael's. Just a thought...

I have some 1/35th scale grenades from Dragon figures that you can have. Send me your adress and I'll get them out to you.
