Tamiya 1/35 German MG Team Mid-WWII # 35386

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 a folding tripod Lafette and the telephoto optical sight helped these machine guns work at long range.

The attachment of the 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 defence from enemies to support of troops.
