if you're looking for insurgent weapons, legend has some ex-insurgents with weapons. an AK47 w/folded stock and a RPG7


I believe Verlinden also sells figures with these weapons as well.

I don't remember ever seeing an insurgent set by Legend with an AK or RPG-7.. do you have a pic of it, or the set number?

I don't remember a particular uniform they wore. Kinda defeats the purpose of being an insurgent... I'd say use any figure you like the looks of, and add the weapon of your choosing.

Anyway, here's what I have found to be THE insurgent weapon of choice, and yet no one does a decent model of it.

Thanks for the heads up. I am more interested on the type of weapon they mount on their pickup.

DML makes a 1/35 14.5mm DSHK in their North Korean "Chosin" figures.

KFS makes these for the cargo bed...

Peter, do you have a pic of that particular kit that contains the 14.5mm gun you mentioned?

DML "Chinese Volunteers AA DSHK #6809."

I don't think the DSHK has changed much since the Korean War, but I could be wrong.
