I had an old M113 once, I now have half a scratch built tracked rapier. I'm trying to find some missiles for it. Does anyone know where I may be able to pick something up?
The model it self is not 100% accurate so a representation of some missiles would not have to be too spot on. I've looked at numerous 1/72 scale aircraft but nothing has come close yet.
The vehicle is a close to scale as possible, this was difficult as research material is scarce to say the least. I have some 1/72 or 1/76 scale drawings that show the basic layout and shape and I have worked from these.
Any other help on this subject would be appreciated.
Cheers

I'm sorry I do not have any pictures of the tracked Rapier but I do have some of the trailer mounted versions. It was one of these variants that was mounted on the vehicle. The pictures show the missiles and their markings. Let me know if you want a copy.

You might try evergreen tubing for the bodies and use bombs or missles for the nose sections with sheet for the fins. :-)
