Available now is an exceptionally rare East German Schnittmodell RPG-18 "Mukha" cutaway trainer, dated 1986—a pristine artifact from the height of the Cold War. This Soviet-designed, East German-manufactured anti-tank rocket launcher trainer, known as a "Schnittmodell" (German for sectional model), was built to educate soldiers on the RPG-18’s mechanics in a safe, inert format. A must-have for serious collectors of militaria, Cold War enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a unique display piece.

Details:

- Condition: Outstanding, with precise cutaway sections exposing the launcher’s internals, including the 64mm PG-18 HEAT warhead and rocket motor assembly—all fully inert.

- Construction: Original aluminum launch tube with fiberglass sleeve, expertly sectioned to reveal operational design while adhering to BATF regulations.

- Dimensions: Approx. 41 inches extended, 27 inches collapsed for transport.

- Markings: Features authentic 1986 East German military stampings, enhancing its historical value.

- Provenance: Decommissioned from an East German training facility, this Schnittmodell is a scarce survivor of the DDR’s military legacy.

The RPG-18, introduced by the Soviet Union in 1972, was a groundbreaking disposable anti-tank weapon capable of penetrating 300mm of armor at 200 meters. This 1986 Schnittmodell variant was produced during the final years of East Germany’s existence, making it a particularly rare find. Used for hands-on instruction, it showcases the launcher’s folding mechanism, warhead placement, and propulsion system in vivid detail.
