T is for Two - Soviet Era Rocket Launchers

Or; J is for Just a Bit of Fun!

You may have noticed in the earlier post an odd green 'thing' in the pile of 'Other Vehicles', well it was a real 'thing', an infant-toy rocket on trailer from the days of the USSR.

I think it should have an integral/moulded-on tractor cab/unit which has been removed with a hot knife from the look of the burn-marks at one end and is a sort of Semi-flat design with a hollowed interior.

It's not so much 'military' as being all a bit 1950's Buck Rogers, you can imagine a plume of stop-motion cotton wool 'smoke' trailing it, as it rushes toward the camera, dangle-lines clearly visible, while someone plays a vibraphone in the background! Cheers Chris.

Meanwhile; this early FROG-type, battlefield tactical 'nuke' on a modified PT76 (or MT-LB?) chassis, which is approximately 1:87th, has been sat in Picasa since I last had a few Russian posts back in 2015! It came with the flats and marked vehicles/vessels we looked at then, but is unmarked and was waiting for some more unmarked-Russian AFV's (or rockets) to come-in . . . well, one just has!
