Nice
I need more interior reference images though as I have no idea what the floor of the ratel looks like
Also the differences between the Ratel 90, 20, 81, CMD and ZT3 interiors is going to be a lot of guess work as I know they are different as described in some of the books I've read.
That's the one specific issue with modeling South African content. There is a serious lack of reference material out there compared to the US and Russian stuff 😬
Lol pretty much true for everyone except the big 3
Did some more modeling on the Galil, R4 and R5 last night.
Didn't make as much progress on it as I'd liked to. Will give it another session tonight and hopefully make some significant progress on it so it can be included in this month's Wrench.
@Kooijpolloi Those references have helped a ton so far. Still a long way to go on this though...
Glad to help
R5 doesnt have bipod or bipod lugs btw
Cool cool 😁
Was the R5 reserved exclusively for pilots and crewmen or did regular infantry also have the option to use them?
Special forces
R4 was issued to everyone else
I mean it folds up it pretty compact
R5 was also used by pilots and crewmen right?
Nope
R4
Pilots mostly had pistols
Ah alright
Do you know exactly when the R4 was adopted?
As so far I haven't got a clue
Not mentioned in any of the books I've read thus far...
83-84
85 all the combat units had R4
Im sitting with my dad and a pal if i should ask them any questions?
Alright lekker, I needed to know because I want get the equipment more or less accurate per operation of course not every operation will be featured as not all of them were major ops
Yes yes
Ja I have a few questions on my mind right now
Shoot my man
