More Simbas

I've finally got around to completing some more Simbas for my 1960s Congo armies.  These are mostly from Eureka's African wars range with a couple of RPG Gunners from TAG.

These figures are to represent the more directly Chinese or Soviet backed elements of the various MNC or PSA factions.  They were sculpted for the Rhodesian war by the talented Kosta Herko of the Flying Gorilla blog but will serve me well enough. 


These teams carry Chinese Type 56 grenade launchers, a copy of the Soviet RPG-2 for heavy support.

Last is an officer and RPG gunner to provide my other Simbas with some more leadership and anti-vehicle capability.

There are more of these figures available from Eureka with more modern AK variants and RPGs.  I might add at them some point later as the green clad units Mad Mike Hoare describes in Congo Mercenary.  I need to find a figure for the mysterious hooded leader too.
