Tamiya 35386 1/35 Mid-WWII German Machine Gun Team Set (5 figures)

This model kit figure set recreates German Machine Gun Troops recreated by cutting- edge moulding technology. During WWII, the German Army employed two types of machine guns - MG34 and MG42 - as the nucleus of their small arms. These machine guns had powerful firepower and high firing speed. Additionally, using folding tripod Lafette and the telephoto optical sight helped these machine guns worked at long range. The attachment of loader magazine allowed firing by one soldier. A machine gun team normally had from three to five soldiers: one pair (one gunner and one loader) and other soldiers who carry ammunition, spare gun barrels and tripod. Their mission ranged from defense from enemies to support of troops.
