The German machine gun team was a crucial element in the firepower strategy of World War II infantry units. Comprised of five soldiers, including a commander, gunner, loader, and ammo carrier, these teams were essential for providing sustained and accurate fire during combat. The MG42, introduced in 1942, was their primary weapon, renowned for its high rate of fire and effectiveness over long distances.
This Tamiya model captures the essence of a WWII German soldier tasked with carrying the tripod for the MG42 machine gun. The figure is meticulously detailed, featuring an early-type Walther pistol holster and the option to assemble with or without a helmet. The tripod itself is composed of over ten parts, ensuring superb accuracy and realism. Decals for rank insignia and a display base are included, allowing modelers to create a dynamic scene when paired with other figures from the series.
The model 1936 field uniform worn by German soldiers at the beginning of WWII is accurately represented, showcasing green collars and intricate detailing. As the war progressed, the uniform evolved into the model 1940 version, which was entirely green to enhance camouflage and simplify production.
