I have some which I picked up recently - when I get a chance I'll
photograph / scan them (probably drop the pics in the 15mmSF list
folders again).

Quick description - each crew pack has eight figures, four poses - one
kneeling with binoculars, one kneeling with ammo box (add an aerial and it
would make a backpack radio), one kneeling with arm extended straight

(looks odd but I assume he's supposed to be dropping a mortar shell into

the barrel) and one standing with ammo box. The binocular guy would make

a great forward observer. Three variants with helmet (Hammers Slammers type),
beret or field cap.

Weapons - again, eight to a pack. Two medium and two light mortars (one
piece castings, no monopod or bipod). Two HMG-types, two piece castings
with tripod - very nice little models. Two 6(?)-barrelled missile
launchers using the same tripod as the HMG.

I don't have photos of much of anything (yeah, having a digi camera would be
nice, but it's further down on my list of needs). But just wanted to add that
the 15mm generic mortars also make reasonably good
kit-bash options for 6mm artillery (I believe John Lerchey is converting
some of his GEV-PCs into arty vehicles by adding them onto the flatbed
backs).

GHQ models has Katusha (sp?) rockets mounted onto Zil (?) truck for
their WW2 or modern Russian microarmor.  It already 6(+/-) mm.  Just a
thought.
