INFANTRY SUPPORT WEAPONS DShKM & SPG-9, 1/35

The Soviet-manufactured fire support weapons and their licence and
unofficial copies were delivered to a plethora of countries during the
Cold War and thou- sands of them remain in service around the world
until the present day. The DShKM 12,7 mm heavy machine
gun is undoubtly the most famous of them and only the American M2
Browning matches its popularity. Interestingly, both these heavy machine
guns were designed prior to World War 2. Although not as famous as the
“Dushka”, the SPG-9 73 mm recoilless gun was also employed in numerous
conflicts since its introduction into service in 1962 and can still be
spotted in the footages from the modern warfare.

The AK35005 set combines accurate and detailed renditions of both
these weapons coupled with the necessary tripods. Also included in this
set are a vehicle post mount which can be used for the chosen gun, spare
ammunition belts and projectiles and a number of different ammunition
boxes. This offers the modeller a multitude of possibilities for using
the components of the set as vehicle armament or stowage, diorama
accessories or even the main parts of a small scene depicting almost
every conflict that happened during the last few dozens of years.

The kit features:

• Over 60 plastic parts.
• Photo-etched fret.
• Contains one tripod for DShKM, two variants of SPG-9 tripod and one vehicle post mount for guns.
• Various ammo boxes and SPG-9 projectiles included.
