Actually did a quick but up to spec job on what a Stinger missile would look on a SM. Stinger look a bit rough but it was a speed job. I've enough to make...12 Stinger missiles. Purpose behind this is evolving my Devastator Squad to pack Anti Air missiles and allocate more heavier fire power to the tactical teams. Sorry for the rough look but its to give the idea a starting point The silver round thing is the battery. In front of the battery is the electronics to acquire target. The scope from the scouts bits frame on their hand pistol. After this and I've a warm and fuzzy on the Stingers I might go ahead and convert the missile launchers to Javelins....both similar but couple components need to be added to look similar. Tell me whatcha think

A few things to consider:

The main tube looks a litte bit detailless. Maybe add something to it like GS-bands or a handgrip on top of it. Or maybe some "stock" that fits onto the shoulder plate and locks the weapon in place.
Also you maybe could add a more sqare element to the side on the front similar to the real weapon.


Also they are rather thin compared to normal GW missle launcher bitz. Maybe use a thicker rod? Yes i know that the real stinger isn' that big but it would otherwise look underpowered compared to normal launchers. You don't need it to be as thick as the original but just a little bit thicker than yours.
