I am adding to my 15mm Soviet equipped force, this time infantry heavy weapons using Battlefront Miniatures Team Yankee miniatures this time. I picked up some Afgantsy Weapons teams for $24 (US) at my local game shop, Dragons Lair Comics.
This weapons team gets me 9 AGS-17 (30mm automatic grenade launcher, similar to the US MK. 19 40mm launcher), and 9 AT-4 anti-tank missile launchers, along with associated assistant gunners and the like.

Compared to my Khurasan Soviet motorized infantry, the details are very similar, and the figures about the same height. I don't think there will be too much difference painted up. I'll likely mount them on pennies like the Khurasan miniatures, and then start building bases that will allow me to mount them for Team Yankee/Flames of War play. What, a 3D printing project? Sure, why not. Perfect use for that machine. What a shame... I have to design something cool for my miniatures.
Cons of the Battlefront miniatures largely lie in the amount cleanup required. Mold lines and sprue exist everywhere on these, such are the requirements of casting with soft metals! Bent barrels and other features don't bother me in the least, after all 1:100 scale AK's and antennas will bend no matter what you do to protect the models! I'm pleased with the level of detail.
