German Machine Gun Troop Soldier Set

I cut my serious model building teeth on this set and with many like it. The figures all represent actual combat poses as the German Army was made up of machine teams with several riflemen to protect the teams. The figures are very well detailed and have no imperfections that I could find. There are extra detailing parts which can all be incorporated into a scene. I highly recommend this set to anyone.

For me as a kid building these kits in the 1980s, the set was the cats meow of German figure sets from the second world war. The poses are great and packed with action which I really liked as I was building lots of dioramas that I wanted to tell a story. I like that the machine gun crews are firing, it is not common to have a loader and gunner show in working a tripod mounted German machine gun authentically. All that said, the sculpting and detailing is that the type seen in the 1980s. But the price is REALLY difficult to beat! Considering that price, the set is a great value and highly recommended.

This was my first Tamiya kit, or military kit for that matter. Very fun to build, excellent details and plenty of extra bits. I can only say take a little care when lining up hands with machine gun grips, but other than that I’ve zero complaints. I mean, c’mon....seven lil’ dudes for the price of a song? All day, boys. Get it!
