Quote from: chrisonord on January 23, 2025, 01:17:01 PMI want to in future make some more mobile SAM systems, and I think stinger or mistral eill be much easier to scratch build too, as a pair of right diameter and length tubes will do the job. A lighter vehicle will do the job too.

Stinger is just a tube with a few rings on it.

Just bodge up some rectangular boxes if you want to use mobile Stingers, since that's how the Avenger has them

Quote from: Weaver on January 23, 2025, 02:53:59 PMStarstreak is a plain enough tube, but it fits in "sleeves" on the 8-round mobile launcher (Stormer platform) which are corrugated and quite an odd shape. The Lightweight Multiple Launcher (LML) version just has the bare tubes though, and it can be mounted on vehicles. It looks like the UK is going to buy some more Starstreaks on 4x4 light vehicles, but they'll be more like a cut-down version of the Stormer one with 4 rounds.

Starstreak apparently also fits in the Stinger cells (or modified Stinger cells ) on the Avenger. So you can add that to your inventory as well

I have built an Avenger SAM from scratch many moons ago, as I was fed up of waiting for Dragon to release one. The boxes are easy to make too, as I made some for an ADV turret for a Sheridan wiff I did too.
