Dragon Models 1/6 M3 37mm Anti-Tank Gun
This is a Dragon Models 1/6 M3 37mm Anti-Tank Gun Model Kit. The figure shown on the box is not included! As part of its highly detailed weapon series, Dragon has now produced a 1/6 scale version of the American M3 antitank gun mounted on the regular M4 carriage. In this model kit, the split-trail gun carriage can be displayed in either travel or combat modes. Furthermore, it mimics the original in that the gun can traverse and elevate according to the modeler?s wishes. The vertical-block breech can also be displayed open or closed. It has the following features: - Presented true-to-scale with details - Movable gun recoils like the real one - Gun can elevate and rotate at different angle - Gun can be assembled in travel or combat mode - Bottom armored flap of gun shield is movable - Gun cradle in detailed presentation with hand wheels and shooting scope - Ammunition box mounted on the back of the gun shield like the real one - Gun breech in detailed presentation - Bonus ammunition for M3 37mm gun The kit is convenient to assemble, but all the intricate detail of the original M3 gun is retained, from the tip of the gun muzzle through to the pneumatic tires. As occurred in reality, the M3 37mm antitank gun can be hitched up to Dragon?s recently released 1/4-Ton 4x4 Truck for towing around the battlefield. Following on from other recently released American 1/6 weapons, this M3 37mm gun offers modelers a larger weapon that will make an impressive centerpiece by itself, or in combination with appropriate figures and other American equipment.
