E is for Eye Candy - Searchlight

Part two of several, brings us to the German army searchlight, although like most of these vignettes, you can change the crew (the whole point of swoppets), something you can't do with the Vickers MG, or the US Flamethrower.
 


The operator is the mortar-bomb guy, with the mortar-bomb removed, or, probably more accutarately, the mortar-bomb moulding cycle not performed. Usually the officer with Luger came on his own base as a third figure, with the Binocular guy the other one on this base, something I will correct as I have spare bino' guys!
 


777 - the first cousin of the beast?
Note the extraneous hole under the searchlight's base-plate.
 
These are in photo-shoot sequence, so I must have tried the grenade thrower after I'd shot the more correct bloke?
