This is the corrected icon for the Italian paratroopers. I added the M29 camouflage to it.

McGuba is right. It's the M24 grenade bundled with extra heads for AT purpose.

Hand grenade are definitely light weapons. It also should be noted that after the battle of Crete in Spring 1941, the Fallschirmjager units were mostly used as elite infantry in both eastern and western fronts, such as Ramcke Brigade in North Africa, Fallschirmjager regiment 3 in Sicily, 1st Fallschirmjager Division in Monte Cassino, 2nd Fallschirmjager Division in Normandy, Fallschirmjager regiment 2 in Kirovograd. They all equipped with at least heavy machine guns, AT guns (Pak 40, even the 88s), and don't forget that there were the 1st Fillschirmjager Panzer Division "Herrman Goring", which has Panzer IV, III, Panthers after 1944, Jagdpanzer IVs after 1944 as well. Would you tell these paratroops usually used light weapons?

Soviet tanks could be “pounded” only in documentaries, which Gebels filmed so that the troops of the Wehrmacht and SS on the eastern front would not be too afraid ))))

I don’t think the tanks were driven by paratroopers ?Birgeria wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 4:39 pmHand grenade are definitely light weapons.

Personally, this is the first time I see Soviet tankers on a trophy German Tiger ) And I've been into looking at historical photos for about 20 years now )Soviet tankers on a captured German Tiger tank of the 502nd Heavy Tank Battalion, August 1944.
although other sources say that it is an abandoned tank near Leningrad )

Of course the paratroopers had weapons adapted to the circumstances:

Hi, thank for fine model)
Maybe you have 'hidden' AT version of 77mm FK 16?

New tank prototype from the Red Army. KV-13 medium tank. It was a project of the new medium tank to replace the T-34s in 1942. However, the Red Army decided to keep modifying the T-34 tank, which leaded to the T-34/85. Although the KV-13 production was cancelled, the prototype was kept modifying and finally leaded to the famous IS series heavy tank.

Happy holidays y'all!
I made this British infantry tank prototype. Excelsior was designated to replace the Churchill tanks because the Churchill Mk.I and II were lacking fire power. The Excelsior was based on the new Cromwell tank, with a QF75 gun. However, the later versions of the Churchill tanks were greatly improved on every manner, which made the Excelsior very unnecessary. Thus in 1943, this tank project got cancelled.

Happy 2025!
Today I bring a new US army prototype, T55E1 GMC. It's a wheeled tank destroyer with a 3 inch M6 gun (same gun in M10 and M18). It has a low profile and very mobile. However, due to the extremely lacking of armor, this vehicle never went into production and the US army chose the M10 GMC.
