Does Anyone have any pictures of this missile? r in particular, it's launcher?
Wiki has one picture of the missile being launched, but it's from the launching position, so I cant see the launcher?
I also cant find any pictures of the libyan patrol boats they were mounted on. Less important, but could still be useful.

I found the Iranian boats, but I can't actually get a good look at the launcher.
Has anyone got a model of it?

I'll pm you some scans tonight when I'm home; but basically it was just a tubular frame cobbled together, with missiles attached on short launch rails and wiring etc.

(Thanks to portsmouth bill)
I've now done several versions of the missile, because i'm not very happy with the one on the Libyan boat, now that I have seen some pictures. What do you think of these:

The top one is probably best for scale. The second two are attempts at drawing them exaggeration for detail. The biggest one is just because I wanted to do a bigger one.
They don't have the (sometimes) mentioned bulbous head, because of the 4 pictures I got, only 1 had it. So I skipped it.
Also, I may use the second one as an AU missile launcher, home developed, because it looks cool :D

Two different types of launcher added based on pictures.
The first, on the left, is the rack for four missiles, the second, on the right, holds 9, and appears to have an integral (tv) director:
