Quite simply, has anyone found a miniature with one of these weapons? I have searched all over, and haven't been able to find one.
If you can provide a link, it would be appreciated.

Hard to say, if one exists, it must be located in the Support Weapon section of miniature producers productlines, I for one haven't seen one. Your best bet would be to scratch build one from another weapon that used a similar tripod system. Perhaps you'd be lucky to find one somewhere in the 1:35 kit ranges from Tamya, Italieri(sp?) or Dragon though? As this weapon was a close support Anti-tank weapon, it will be hard to find one for skirmish battles I think.

The only one I have seen is a 1:35 kit, but I don't know that I'm quite prepared or my modeling skills are up to scratch-building one. I'm wondering what the Darkson Design crew used for testing. |

If you build one, I'll buy one! |

Sorry about the ressurection but, the gun evernevermore(john) linked to reminds me a bit of a modern day TOW launcher like this one.  These I know are readily available from 1:35 producers, and should make a tripod conversion project much more managable. |

I found one of the Dragon (1:35 scale) 7.5 cm LG40 kits on ebay, so I'm going to give that a try. I won't be able to use the soldiers that come with it, but I'm thinking the guns may not look too out of place.

I have seen Humvee mounted TOWs in action on the range. It's a sight when they are supported by 240B and 50cals.

Warlord Games have just released pictures for preview of their new Fallschirmjäger LG40 gun with crew for their BAM miniatures line, although it's the 10.5cm variant this could readily be used as the 7.5cm variant I think.
As an added bonus they also have the SzPB41 2.8cm AT gun in the works to the FJ too.

I'm hoping they release the crew separately, as has been done for some of their other weapons, and then I'll use it with the ones from the 1:35 kit I picked up. Of course, it'd be nice if they made a 7.5cm LG40, too. |

At 28mm model size, I don't think the bore size of the two guns are that much different that it's too obvious. I would atleast consider using the LG40 10.5cm gun as a substitute for the older LG40 7.5cm predecessor.
