Attached photo is infantry support weapon from I think a US Vietnam sprue, I think it came with the Air Cavalry command set. I can't figure out what its supposed to be. A TOW launcher has a pretty constant diameter. A 90mm recoiless had the bulge at the rear but not extending way forward like this. It on a sprue marked "M20". No photos of this on GHQ website that I can find.

Post a pic, please.

Sorry, I posted pic but photobucket.com took it down almost immediately. I have to figure out another way to post

OK, not posted here, but there's a link

It is a ground-mounted TOW launcher.


(As presented on the armyrecognition.com website)

I agree. Its kind a what I thought, but the back part of the barrel is way out of proportion

I actually thought the TOW barrel was one diameter all the down, the photo is clear

That is not a ghq figure that's a Scotia fig and the tube is a bill atgm launcher iirc

Actually, thats an Heroics & Ros figure from their Modern U.S. Infantry pack. I always just figured it was their version of a TOW launcher. Otherwise I have no idea what they were trying to recreate.

I bought a couple packs of these when I went to Salute 2014. The castings are slightly smaller than the GHQ variety and the poses seemed a tad stiff to me.

I never bought any Scotia 6mm, except planes. HR maybe but I don't remember it

Yep that's a Heroics TOW launcher.

I also use them as stand-ins for Soviet SPG-9 launchers.

But with GHQ's new Sov Weapons pack out now I may have to upgrade

H & R for sure. I have none of their figures at all now but did have them many years ago.
I still used their Gripen, Bv snow cats and the new Archer SPG.

The M20 is their Israeli heavy weapons pack. That sculpt is maybe pushing 40 years old.

Cheers,
