Greetings Armourati,
I'm looking at building the Bronco 35002 28cm Swurfgerat 40 Auf G.W. on the Hotchkiss 39 chassis, but am disappointed with the look of the 28cm rockets provided. (Terry at PMMS also says they are a sloppy fit in the crates).
Does anybody know of any company that sells either the 28cm or 32 cm rockets by themselves? Resin or styrene, doesn't matter. I've googled but no joy.
Alternatively does anyone have the AFV Club or DML Stuka zu Fuss kit and can tell me, if I bought one of these, would I have enough spare rockets to kit the H39?
Thanks in advance,
Lucien

From memory there is a similar product from DML as well which should be better detailed, I also believe it was released with four Fallschirmjäger troops. Failing that someone may have spares from the half track armed with rockets as I believe there were spares due to the alternate sizes.

Thanks for the suggestions.
One more quick question. With the Tamiya set having 3x28cm & 1x32cm rocket, and the DML having 2x28cm & 2x32cm, will I need to buy two sets or did the units regularly mix and match ordinance?
I can't believe no-one does an AM set of these. 18 Sturmtigers made in total and numerous Am options for those projectiles, but these, which obviously have short-comings in the supplied product, and were produced in the 1000s go begging. Market opportunity anyone?
Cheers,
Lucien
