FAQs

Does this kit include a machine gun accessory?

Yes, the kit includes weapons and gear appropriate for the infantry figures depicted.

Are paints included in the box?

No, this kit is an unpainted plastic model kit; you will need to purchase paints and brushes separately.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

While the parts are well-molded, the small scale and fine details are better suited for modelers with some prior assembly experience.

What glue should I use?

Standard plastic model cement (solvent glue) is recommended for joining the polystyrene parts.

What does the title mean?

Das Maschinegewehr isr dort! translates to 'The machine gun is there!', referring to the tactical placement of the squad's heavy weapon.

Troubleshooting

Pieces are difficult to remove from the sprue

Use high-quality side cutters rather than twisting parts off, which can cause damage to the plastic.

Parts not fitting together flush

Check for excess plastic flashing at the injection points and gently sand or scrape it away before applying glue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of sculpting detail for realistic expressions and gear
  • Historically accurate representation of late-war German infantry
  • Perfect for creating interactive diorama scenes
  • Excellent value for the number of figures included

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade modeling glue and tools
  • Small parts require steady hands and magnifying equipment
  • Does not include paints or assembly supplies in the box

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin assembly, you will need a set of side cutters to remove pieces from the sprue, a hobby knife for trimming, and plastic model cement. Ensure you have a well-lit workspace and a self-healing cutting mat. Compatibility is universal with other 1:35 scale WWII plastic model kits, such as those from Tamiya or Dragon. To care for your finished figures, store them in a dust-free display case and keep them away from direct sunlight, which can fade paintwork and embrittle plastic over time.
