1/35 2CM SALVENMASCHINENKANONE SMK 18 TYPE 2
This is an injection-plastic field gun model kit.
The SMK18 Type 2 2-cm cannon is a high-fidelity gun made by Germany during World War II. The idea was to shoot down enemy aircraft by simultaneously firing eight 2-cm cannons. The Type 1 had the cannons in a horizontal arrangement; the prototype of the Type 2 was built in 1939, but it proved to be too unstable for use, as there was too much of a load on its moving parts. This gun is currently on display in a museum in Moscow, Russia.
This kit features highly detailed breech and carriage assemblies, working elevation and sight mechanisms, and a choice of optical or iron sights. The stabilizer arms are movable, and a set of photo-etched parts is included as well. Order yours today!
[Includes]: Photo-etched parts
The 1/35 scale 2cm Salvenmaschinenkanone SMK 18 Type 2 model kit represents a fascinating weapons experiment. This eight-barreled anti-aircraft gun system was designed for maximum firepower, but due to technical difficulties, it remained only a prototype. Modelers will appreciate the detailed rendering of the breech and gun carriage, the functional elevation and aiming mechanisms, the optional optics or mechanical sights, and the movable stabilizing arms. Etched parts are also included for an even higher level of realism. Paints and glue are not included in the package.
