If this has been covered elsewhere, sorry. But I recently did a couple of conversions that turned out quite well. (I don't have photo capabilities, so you'll have to use your imagination.)
You'll need two figures from the most recent 21st Century German set - the kneeling rifleman racking another round in his weapon and the prone sub-machine gunner. You'll also need the "spare" panzerfaust and panzerschrek that FOV includes in many of its sets.
Using a knife, carefully pop out the rifle and machine gun. The rifle is a bit tricky, but it WILL come off.
The panzerfaust fits almost perfectly into the hands and beneath the armpit of the kneeling rifleman - transforming him from a bolt-action foot slogger into a grim tank killer.
The bazooka fits more or less snugly into the prone (former) machinegunner's hands. A bit of glue and, presto, another armor buster - not to mention a unique figure. (How many other prone and painted German tank terrors are there currently on the market?)
I figured this out whilst cussing my cat for batting at the machinegunner and snapping the barrel off his weapon.
These two converstion truly do look 'natural' and will give you two new fighting figures.
