MiniArt is working on a new set of German Anti-tank weapons, the Panzerschreck RPzB.54 and the Ofenrohr RPzB.43.
The Raketenpanzerbüchse (RPzB) was an 88 mm calibre, reusable, anti-tank rocket launcher developed by Germany in World War II. It was designed as a lightweight infantry anti-tank weapon.

The first model was the RPzB 43, whose operators of the RPzB 43 had to wear a protective poncho and a gas mask without a filter to protect them from the heat of the backblast when the weapon was fired.

In October 1943, it was succeeded by the RPzB 54, which was fitted with a blast shield to protect the operator and was heavier, 11 kg compared with the 9.25 of the former.

The kit comes with three launchers of each model, plus several rocket boxes and backpacks.

It has photoetch details and decals for the stencils.
