The current rifle used by the Aussie Army is the EF88 Austeyr, which is an enhanced version of the F88.

These look quite out of proportion really

Anyone buy the Black Dog 1/35 Javelin ATGM kit and care to comment about that one?

The clean weapons look just about passable, might try them out if I can find them on stock anywhere.

I have it, Peter. It's not bad, a few pin holes here and there on the Javelin. The details on the containers are much sharper and well defined than on the Pro Art Javelins. As far as the CLU goes it's nice, the details are nice and sharp. You have the option to show the missile as ready to fire or not. The only gripe I have about it is there are only two of them.
So far as the AT4 and Carl Gustav go, I really haven't examined them as closely, but from what I saw the CG was kind of disappointing, the details were pretty soft.

True, no one else does the "EF-88" as these are. But Mouse House do the F88A2.

No idea mate. I'm out of the game now. I have the CAD that they were done from and have tinkered around with them, but that's it.
