Re: [SGII] Mini review and question for KR

OK - I'm not KR, but I did just assemble and paint a platoon of New
Israelis...

The missile launcher is an "over the shoulder" version that attaches to
a
small knob sticking out of the gunners backpack on the upper right side.
The knob is a half-circle shape, and matches an indentation in the
bottom
of the launcher tube.  There is only one figure that the missile
launcher
fits onto this way, and it has a larger backpack than the others, so if
you
bought it in a blister with other figs, it shouldn't be too hard to
figure
out which one it goes on.

If you've got the same figure with helmet off that I do - with short
curly
hair - the reason he looks really young is that he's a she...  If I
remember correctly, there is actually a difference between the NI armour
for males and females, and the officer holding helmet is a woman.
