MG 15 machine gun with infantry modification in 1/35 scale - Set CMK.The MG 15 was a machine gun widely used as a manual weapon on German aircraft in the very early stages of World War II. By 1940 it had been replaced by the MG81 machine gun. The MG15 was later adapted to infantry needs and used by Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht ground units.
Vickers machine gun (World War II variant) 1/35 scale - CMK set.The Vickers machine gun was developed on the basis of the earlier Maxim weapon. The design boasted of great effectiveness and almost 100 percent reliability. These technically perfect Vickers guns were produced in large numbers for both the army (they were water-cooled) and the air force, where they were air-cooled. The British Army used the Vickers well until the late 1960s, and in other countries...armies, the weapon also served much longer.And since the Vickers machine gun remained in production for a long time, it is not surprising that the numerous production batches differed in various more or less important respects. Our P35026 kit features the World War II-style Vickers used during the war and postwar years, particularly in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
Soviet PPSh-41 Machine Gun in 1/35 Scale - CMK Set.The iconic PPSh-1 "Shpagin" sumbachine gun is among the most famous weapons of World War II, and now our 3D printed set exudes near abundance of detail and also offers two styles of ammunition magazines, the rounded and the segmented. This weapon remained in service on the Eastern Front not only by the Red Army, but also by the Wehrmacht, which captured several. After the war, the Shpagin was used by socialist bloc armies and produced under license in Vietnam and China.
MG 34 Copula 1/35 Scale Anti-Aircraft Gun Carrier - CMK Set. A machine gun with ammunition box and ring mount around the commander's turret, like that used on Panther, Tiger or Königstiger tanks. The 3D printed set offers much higher levels of detail than the original styrene items found in model kits.
MG 34/41 World War II German Machine Gun (2 pieces) 1/35 scale - Set CMK. The MG34/41 machine gun was a further development of the original MG34 weapon to meet Wehrmacht requirements for a higher rate of fire and simplified production. The former was solved by strengthening the ejector assembly while the latter was solved by improving the ammunition feeding mechanism. Production was less demanding by pressing some components and also by eliminating complex machining operations. All this, however, led to an overall weight increase of about 14 kg more than the previous standard MG34. The entire new batch of weapons production was employed on the Eastern Front.
1/35 Vickers machine gun (World War I) The Vickers machine gun was developed on the basis of the earlier Maxim gun. The design boasted of great efficiency and almost one hundred percent reliability. These technically perfect Vickers guns were produced in large numbers for both the army (they were water-cooled) and the air force, where they were air-cooled. The British Army used the Vickers well until the late 1960s; in the armies of other countries the weapon also served much longer. And since the Vickers submachine gun remained in production for a long time, it is not surprising that the numerous production batches differed in various more or less important aspects. Now we have for you the Vickers variety from World War I. The second one, used in World War II, is under development.
1/35 Hetzer / Stug IIIG (late) MG 34 remote-controlled machine gun. - Set that includes a 3D printed MG 34 machine gun and a mount with photo-etched parts. - Included are 1 Hetzer cloak and 1 StuG III G (late model) type cloak. The Hetzer, officially known as the "Jagdpanzer 38(t)," was a German light fighter-tanker used during World War II. The StuG III (Sturmgeschütz III) was a fighter-tank based on the hull of the Panzer III tank, and was used in several versions during the war. The MG 34 was a German machine gun used in various capacities. The MG 34 remote-controlled mounted on these vehicles refers to the use of an MG 34 machine gun, but remote-controlled, meaning that it could be controlled and used from inside the vehicle without the operator having to expose himself to enemy fire. This improved the operator's safety as he could fire at enemy infantry or other light threats without having to exit the vehicle. Here is some more detailed information on the components mentioned: Hetzer (Jagdpanzer 38(t)): The Hetzer was a German light tank destroyer based on the hull of the Czech LT vz. 38, which the Germans had acquired during the occupation of Czechoslovakia. It was known for its compact and low shape, which made it difficult to spot and a difficult target for enemy tanks. The addition of a weapon such as the remote-controlled MG 34 provided additional protection against enemy infantry. StuG III (Sturmgeschütz III): The StuG III was a tank destroyer based on the hull of the Panzer III tank. It was widely used by Nazi Germany during World War II in several versions. It was known for its powerful main weapon, which could be a 75-mm or 105-mm cannon, and was effective in the infantry support role and in destroying enemy tanks. MG 34: The MG 34 was a German machine gun designed in the 1930s and was known for its versatility and reliability. It could be mounted on a variety of platforms, including armored vehicles, aircraft, and infantry support. Using a remote-controlled MG 34 on an armored vehicle such as the Hetzer or StuG III allowed the operator to fire remotely from the safety of the vehicle's interior. In summary, the remote-controlled MG 34 was an MG 34 machine gun mounted on light fighters such as the Hetzer or on fighters based on the Panzer III hull such as the StuG III. This system allowed the operator to fire at light targets without having to exit the vehicle, improving his safety during combat.
1/35 M1A1 BazookaThe M1A1 Bazooka was a portable anti-tank rocket launcher used by the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War. Here is some key information about the M1A1 Bazooka:Development and Background: The Bazooka was developed during World War II as a response to the need for an effective portable anti-tank weapon. It was developed by Edward Uhl and Leslie Skinner at Pennsylvania State University and was one of the world's first successful portable anti-tank rocket launchers.Design and Operation: The M1A1 Bazooka had a relatively simple design. It consisted of a launch tube, an aiming system, a launcher, and an anti-tank rocket. The rocket was loaded from the rear of the launch tube. When the rocket was fired, a rocket propellant caused it to accelerate down the launch tube toward the target.Armament: The M1A1 Bazooka fired 2.36-inch (about 60 mm) anti-tank rockets that were capable of penetrating the armor of enemy tanks at the time. The rocket had an explosive warhead that detonated after penetrating the armor, causing significant damage to the interior of the enemy vehicle.Operational Use: The Bazooka was used primarily by infantry during World War II and the Korean War. It represented an important asset for dealing with enemy tanks and other armored vehicles. However, it had a range limitation and had to be used with caution.Evolution: The Bazooka underwent several evolutions during its use, including improvements in rockets and warhead effectiveness. Several variants and later models were developed.Legacy: The Bazooka represented an important step in the evolution of portable anti-tank weapons and influenced the development of future rocket launchers. Although it was gradually replaced by more modern anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank missiles, the term "Bazooka" became an icon of World War II combat.In summary, the M1A1 Bazooka was a portable anti-tank rocket launcher used by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. It was a key tool for dealing with enemy tanks and contributed to the growth of portable anti-tank weapons over time.
1/35 MG 42 German WWII Machine Gun (Late Variant)The MG 42 (short for the German Maschinengewehr 42) was a 7.92 mm caliber Mauser machine gun developed by the war industry of Nazi Germany and entered service in 1942. It flanked, and partly supplanted, the older MG 34 in almost all departments of the German Army; both were produced until the end of the war.The MG 42 is considered one of the most successful examples of a bivalent accompanying weapon, capable of filling both roles of light and heavy machine gun with equal success, and it immediately showed itself to be reliable, durable, simple to build and easy to operate, but the feature that impressed was its enormous rate of fire. The weapon had the highest possible firing cadence for single-barreled portable weapons, between 1,200 and 1,500 rounds per minute. Other coeval weapons had a similar rate of fire, such as the Russian ShKAS, the French Darne and the British Vickers K, but the belt-fed and easily replaceable barrel allowed the German machine gun to fire for longer times. The technical layout of the MG 42 remained widely applied after World War II, serving as the basis for the nearly identical MG 1 (MG 42/59), later evolved into the MG 3. Other models based on the MG 42 include the Swiss MG 51 and MG 710-3, the Austrian MG 74, the Spanish CETME Ameli, partly the American M 60 machine gun, and the Belgian FN MAG. The original design was also sold under license to many factories soon after the war, which then continued production of the weapon. The mechanical scheme with direct recoil exploitation and geometrically opposed roller lock (see below) is considered the ultimate in mechanical reliability and efficiency; trying to improve on it is like trying to "reinvent the wheel."
1/35 M1917 U.S. Machine GunThe Browning M1917 is a heavy machine gun used during some conflicts in the 20th century.Employed by the U.S. during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and to a limited extent in the Vietnam War, and also by other states, it is a belt-fed, water-cooled machine gun. It was used at the battalion level, and often mounted on vehicles. The M1917 was used on the ground and by some aircraft, and has a firing rate of 450 rounds/min; the M1917A1 has a firing rate of 450 to 600 rounds/min. Two main versions were produced, the M1917 used during World War I and the M1917A1 used until 1975.A simplified, air-cooled version, the Browning M1919 was adopted after World War I and was used in World War II, the Korean War, the Congo Crisis, and the Vietnam War.
1/35 M18 57mm Recoilless RifleThe M18 recoilless rifle is a 57mm shoulder-fired anti-tank recoilless rifle used by the U.S. Army in World War II and the Korean War. The recoilless rifles are capable of firing artillery-type projectiles at reduced velocities comparable to those of standard guns, but with greater accuracy than anti-tank weapons that used unguided rockets and almost no recoil. The M18 was a rear-loading, single-shot, portable, crew-served weapon. It could be used both anti-tank and anti-hubble. The weapon could be fired either from the shoulder or from a prone position. The front handle of the T3 also served as an adjustable monopod, and the two-piece padded T3 shoulder cradle could swing down and back as a bipod for the gunner. The most stable firing position was from the tripod developed for the water-cooled Browning M1917 machine gun.
1/35 MG 42 German WWII Machine Gun (Early Variant) (Set of 2)The MG 42 (short for the German Maschinengewehr 42) was a 7.92 mm caliber Mauser machine gun developed by the war industry of Nazi Germany and entered service in 1942.

1/35 M1 BazookaAt the beginning of World War II, the only weapon infantrymen had against tanks were anti-tank guns, which, however, even at the beginning of the war were practically powerless against infantry tanks, and when in the continuation of the conflict, the tanks improved mobility and protection, they became just a useless burden for infantrymen. At that point it was necessary to use anti-tank weapons. These weapons were developed by both the Germans and the British and the United States. The adopted U.S. anti-tank weapon was the M1 Rocket Launcher 2.36" Bazooka, which gave satisfactory results in the last years of the war, designed by Edward Uhl in 1942.
1/35 AK-74MN Soviet/Russian Assault Rifle / Laminated Full Gunstock Type (2 Pieces.)The AK-74 is a modified AKM-type assault rifle.The changes are essentially in the face of the bolt to accommodate the new 5.45 × 39 mm caliber cartridge and in the presence of an improved extractor, a new fiberglass-reinforced plastic magazine, and a remarkably effective muzzle brake that makes optimal use of the flow of gas exiting the weapon; it not only significantly reduces the muzzle flare emitted by the weapon, but also counteracts recoil by imparting more downward and forward thrust to the weapon, even as it increases the noise produced.
1/35 M2 FlamethrowerThe M2 flamethrower (M2-2) is a portable backpack flamethrower used during World War II.It was the successor to the M1 and M1A1 flamethrowers. Although the time to discharge the canisters is 7 seconds, and the range about 33 m, it was still a very functional and multi-role weapon. However, with the increasing arrival of tanks and especially flamethrower tanks, the need for infantrymen to expose themselves to enemy fire diminished.Although some M2s were sold or reused for tests, most were discarded when they were declared obsolete.
1/35 AK-74MN Soviet/Russian Assault Rifle / Folding Stock Type (2 pcs.)The AK-74 is a modified AKM-type assault rifle.The changes are essentially in the face of the bolt to accommodate the new 5.45 × 39 mm caliber cartridge and in the presence of an improved extractor, a new fiberglass-reinforced plastic magazine, and a remarkably effective muzzle brake that makes optimal use of the flow of gas exiting the weapon; it not only significantly reduces the muzzle flare emitted by the weapon, but also counteracts recoil by imparting more downward and forward thrust to the weapon, even as it increases the noise produced.
