When Infantry Need To Kill A Tank-WWII Style

Since the invention of tanks, the bloody infantry has been trying to find ways to destroy these armored dangers.
When desperate, use anything available-explosives, fire bombs, or "Lunge-Mines. Needless to say survival was lower for the attacker.

The Anti-Tank Rifle was ok against the early lightly armed AFV's. At least it made you feel better when you got to shoot back.

The PIAT (Projectile Infantry Anti-Tank) was effective against most medium tanks but had a short range.

If you were really brave, the flamethrower could cook most tanks, if they didn't see you coming.

The Bazooka rocket launcher was the first anti-tank weapon that combined killing power, range and portability to give the foot slogger a fighting chance. 
These are all plastic pieces that I have painted this century.
