Big shout out to a great member here for selling me the DKLM road wheel set that is no longer available! (i am just protecting his potential desire for privacy)

Unboxing video in the usual Pitstain campiness.

Good Morning,
Great video! That DsHK MG can be made to rotate and elevate with some careful drilling and small bolts and nuts. I used the 3D printed one from Shapeways and it is 'Huge' even on the IS-2 turret.

wow yeah that thing is enormous, I did not know there was a 3D print on shapeways, but this resin one looks serviceable.

Good afternoon,
Shapeways has them printed by years of service with the Russian Military. The one I have is for WWII. They did not appear to change a great deal over time but there are some differences.

Mr Pitstain,
*Looks at the Tamiya IS-2 box and all the metal accessories and looks back at you* ;o) We are in the Same Hobby, no? ;o) ( JK, Shapeways is expensive and I do not use them a lot but at the time, that was the only WWII version of the MG that I could find )
regards,
Painless
