Tiger turret anti aircraft gun ?

Post by jeman »

Hi guys.......can anyone put up a picture of a 1/16 machine gun that is on the turret of a tiger. I'm after the set up with the bag attached that holds the rounds as I'm making one up. I've looked but can't find anything

Cheer,s

Mark Hi, I wonder are you thinking of the "SCHUMO" mg34 mount

"ANTI-AIRCRAFT MG MOUNT for Panzer Iv late, Panther, Tiger 1 mid/late and Tiger 11" order number ZUH25.
http://www.axels-modellbau-shop.de

If so it is made of nickel silver and requires a bit of fettling and that includes the use of a pin vise to build it into a working unit although it does look nice when finished,
The bag is called a "GURTSACK and it and the ammo belts are available from

http://www.afvmodeller.com
that will put you on the home page just click on "SHOP" then "RESIN ACCESSORIES"

All the details should be on the Forum if you type in the relevant detail into the search box.

I was just thinking MARK, whatever make of MG34 you are using they are all wrong, because they all have the MG34 "INFANTRIE" barrel ".
ABER" make a PE kit for the "ARMOURED" Barrel.
As you saw off the old barrel you keep asking yourself "I hope I am I doing the right thing"! :lolno:

Thanks Jarndice ! I've just knocked this up this afternoon........rough, but I will tidy it up. The rounds were made up from connector pins cut down.....they do look rough but I'm going to replace them with more rounded ones when I've got more time. The pouch I made from cotton and then painted....along with the top edge and lid. Just experimenting for now.......ha ha
