This is a bit unusual but it is made of metal and does get mounted in a Panzer. This was given to me by a modelling Buddy [and a fine modeller himself] who had it as a spare and gave it to me- very generous, as I understand that they are hard to get. This started as a clear plastic pre - built plastic replica. A clean pallette and a wonderful subject just to paint and have some fun. All functions operate , open, close and move. I now have it as a great MG34 reference. Good for ref detailing those little brothers in 35. It stands 6and a bit inches high and 10 inches across the base!
