SG 43 question

Do you think that a T-34/85 would tow the SG43 machine gun when the infantry were riding the tanks into battle? I’m looking at a set of Soviet soldiers by joytoy and it includes the machine gun on wheels and I wanted to add these to my tank

Probably not tow, but secured on the engine deck.............most definitely.
Cabn you post a link to your intended figures ;)

In my opinion that MG will look ridiculously too small when towed, but can be OK when carried. It is not only a small gun, but also in 1/18 scale, so it will be very noticeable there is something wrong when towed.

If you want to tow a MG, maybe a better idea would be a maxim MG. A friend of mine did this one for me:

This is the set that Daspanzer posted a link to in his T34 thread Herman, https://www.ebay.com/itm/194004119425

My only reservation would be that the set is in 1/18 which is maybe not so bad for the figures but the gun would look very small compared to the tank especially if it's being towed ??? :thumbup:

Would the figures match the winter theme of my T-34? Not sure if the had winter uniforms. And thank you guys for helping with the sg-43. I just wasn’t sure
