1:6 Scale MG42 Gun with
Tripod Mount Model Kit

Dragon has just broadened its range of 1/6 scale weapon kits with the release an MG42 machine gun model kit. The set depicts a tripod-mounted version of the belt-fed MG42. The real gun-and-tripod combination weighed around 32kg and was 1.12m long, but modelers will find Dragon's miniature version is much more manageable in terms of size and weight! The Lafette tripod saw widespread use in WWII and coincided with the weapon's introduction in 1942. This mount provided a stable platform for sustained fire on the battlefield. With this kit, model-makers can assemble their very own plastic tripod. While the design is robust, the tripod is also versatile enough to fold away into its transport mode. This means collectors have the choice of displaying their miniature machinegun in either firing or transport configurations. The model's size means it would make a suitable desktop decoration. This is a famous German automatic weapon from WWII, and Dragon's model is an exacting miniature replica of the original.
