20mm WW2 75mm recoilless rifles

 Another pack split with Will, this time the Strelets 75mm Recoilless rifles.  These are half of my share, painted up as late WW2 US infantry.  The other pair, I plane to use either for French in Indochina or early US/ARVN in Vietnam.  A generous 8 weapons in the set, with enough crew for three men to each weapon plus some spares which look to make useful command or spotter elements.

These guys are painted with khaki jackets or grey-green wind cheaters and US tan earth trousers/pants, all washed in Agrax Earthshade.





A useful set covering late WW2 and early Cold War era.  Only issue was mildly bent barrels that needed a bit of straightening once released from the sprue.

Thanks for looking.
