two of my fav guns of ww2, a ppsh and the stg.
hope you like

rear

and with comrade

The picture above demonstrates ;the model in the helmet is a tamiya kit which was completely intact on the sprues,plastic. The model holding the ppsh and the stg44 is verlinden, resin ! (from america). The barrel and recoil unit and front sight were completely missing ! So I've had to fashion all of this, (just realising that stg44 facing ground has the front sight on back to front,grrrr!). When removing the resin kit from sprues the back end came right off, breaking into 2 pieces ! Luckily that was all but i thought verlinden products were top dog !
front end of a stg44 should look like this !

cheers
Opinions please.
