Wargame3D has released a model for the 8.8 cm Raketenwerfer 43 Puppchen. The Puppchen was an 88 mm German reusable anti-tank rocket launcher. The weapon fired from a small two-wheeled gun carriage which fired a rocket-propelled, fin-stabilized grenade with a shaped charge warhead. Approximately 3,000 were produced from 1943 to 1945. It was made in much smaller numbers than either the Panzerschreck, because it was realized that a simple hollow tube with an ignition device was all that was needed to launch the 88 mm rocket, rather than an elaborate miniature artillery piece with carriage and breech. If you want to try a Puppchen in BA you can find this weapon in the Italy: Soft Underbellly Campaign book.
