Instructions wanted?

Post by Guroburov »

I spent too much time this morning gluing the launchers onto my M113 Tamuz. I just couldn't figure out how to mount the launcher onto the hatch mount. Searching photos turned up nothing useful until I ID'd the tiny optical mount that sits just in front of the base of the launcher. Now I find all my launchers are aimed off the back of the M113s. :oops: Not the first mini I've wondered how in the heck does this go together. Am I the only one who'd love to have a small graphic for some of the figures that it's not immediately obvious how to put them together?

Sometimes, bur not always, pictures of the real thing help, so I do a search on the internet for images.

Some of the micronauts come with basic instructions, which I am grateful for as I am a bit of a knucklehead when it comes to naval stuff. Doing research is necessary sometimes, but for complicated or confusing models instructions would be nice.

Best way to put instructions out CHEAPLY is to have a section on this forum and the Facebook page. Not that difficult.

I like the instructions with the modern navy micronauts but agree having a picture with the figures or here on the forum would help keep idiots like me from mounting ATGMs backwards in the future. On the other hand my M113s can now safely fire and be ready to run away without turning around first.

Just squash the hammerheads down on themselves and you have them in the stowed, traveling position. Still lookin' good!

PG, sacrilege...!!!
I have done that some. Most of what I am gluing the hammerheads is facing over the rear deck so they can bug out upon firing their TOWS.
Anyone wanting to fight against my M901?

I seriously considered squashing the launchers down before my lizard brain could figure out how to glue the launchers on right.

No, Chris. I'll not test your military might. Your army is bigger than the ACTUAL army. Mine is comparable to the active Russian one so I'll only be outgunned by 30:1 or so. :D

M901 force is small, relatively small any way.
Might have to change ATGM to Hellfire missile instead of TOWs after new Hammerheads with 180mm diameter vs 152mm diameter. Buy having this weapon system upgrade the M901 are more capable.

If that is the case, Mr. Guroburov, then yoy must devise strategy and tactics that will make the size if his force immaterial or a disadvantage.

PG, cut that out. Don’t give him any ideas. Thank you.
I want him to maximize my advantage, minimize his advantages.
LOL, lol.

Yes, you would like that, wouldn't you? I hope he will be smart enough to figure it out.
