1/35 GERMAN MACHINE GUN TEAM (MID-WWII)

Image shows assembled and painted kit.

The MG34 and MG42 were two of the main machine guns employed by the Wehrmacht during WWII. Supplied from 1936, the MG34 could fire up to 900 rounds per minute, a number bettered by 1,200 per minute of the MG42, a more mass production-oriented design which was used from 1942. Both were frequently fired from two-pronged stands, but when employed with the Lafette tripod and its optical sight they were even more formidable.
