Tamiya German Machine Gun Troops (1/35) 35038
This 1/35 scale Tamiya kit recreates German machine gun troops from WWII, equipped with the iconic MG-34 and MG-42.

The MG-34, adopted in 1934, was versatile and accurate with a rate of fire up to 900 rounds per minute. Its successor, the MG-42, introduced in 1942, featured an even higher rate of fire at 1,500 rounds per minute, robust construction, and simplified mass production using pressed steel components.
