I can't remeber who made it, might have been dragon. It is a kit with figures with an asortment of anti-aircraft figures and equipment. I will check at the hobby shop next time I go and keep my eyes other places I look.

I remember Verlinden had a kit a long time ago one with 120 mm GI firing it and a kit with tripod mount in 120mm.

The old Italeri Special Forces Stinger Hummer had tem and I also believe that Italeri's modern accessories came with a Stinger set up (I think). It was the set with a TOW, Milan, .50 cals, M-60s and a few other modern pieces. Haven't seen either in the shops in a long time.

DML/Dragon has a figure set with a soldier firing a Stinger. I believe it is the Desert Storm 82nd Airbourne set. Sabot is also correct, the Italeri modern accessory set also comes with Stingers.

Tamiya Modern Accessory set has 2 of 'em. It seems to be OOP.

I may have one in the spares box Let me know.

Italeri`s modern weapon set does not have a Stinger missile, justa a Tow launcher.But i think that dragon has a box with one.


Not by strentgh but by guile!

I stand corrected, it is/was the Tamiya modern accessory set that had the stingers. Not the Italeri set. DML/Dragon does not offer a Stinger separately though.

Hey,

Gino et al are correct.

Shanghai Dragon 3006, U.S. 82nd Airborne has a guy toting one, and Tamiya MM-141 Modern U.S. Accessory set has two as well.

Dragon kit OOP, Tamiya set isn't AFAIK (my local shop has one) but they're also on Ebay (got mine with a bundle).

Cheers,

I have three of these sets and will never use the Stingers. Unfortunately, I won't be home to get at them for a few more months.
