Don't forget the JagdPanzer Rakete and JagdPanzer Kannone of the same
period
- similar looking vehicle but equipped with ATGW (SS11 ?) or 90mm AT gun
respectively. My 15mm Redemptionist Rebel force (Tabletop Games
Laserburn
figures) has a Kannone model that has had the gun replaced by a spare
plastic
weapon from a GW Titan.
On the topic of Laserburn figures, there are several vehicles in the
range
worth checking out - especially the smaller types such as the excellent
little two seat grav car, a grav sled, an excellent grav pickup truck
and an
enclosed ground-car type (taxi ? police car ?). The rebels also had the
benefit of a trike which could be adapted to carry heavy weapons and a
three-man air-car (can't remember its correct name).
