If you're using the kit "Matra" rockets, then they should be installed further back into the pod, Ratch. That "notch" in them is for the working part to latch onto them and hold them until the trigger is nudged forward.

Bloomin' 'eck Ratch - 7 days!? I've barely got mine out of the box!
Looks nice though - I've got one and was thinking of going for the military version, but I'm not so sure now.

There's not many parts - less if you do the military one 
It took longest waiting for the paint to dry

No Stu 
They're just dummies, and the fit of the projectiles is too tight after painting
