Any one seen the new 1/35 Jeep with bazookas mounted, on Perth? Same as the .50 cal, but with 2 bazookas. The cover art shows typical US bazookas, but the kit shots look suspiciously a lot like Panzerschreks... or is it just me? DML hasn't done a bazooka since their US infantry weapons set from many years ago, but has done very nice Panzerschreks more recently.

Well, if these are newly tooled bazookas (as they seem to be) I hope DML releases them in an upcoming US infantry figure set.
