FirstLook

The Soviet M4  Quad Maxim Anti Aircraft Machine Gun was first developed in 1931 and by 1938 was the standard light Anti Aircraft weapon used by the Soviets. I was mounted on almost anything from ships and trucks to static positions on the top of buildings.

Every so often, a review piece comes along that takes your breath away. This is such a piece. The casting on all of the pieces is perfect with no visible porosity in evidence. To add to that, there are no casting blocks …that’s right none! I have never seen such fine resin pieces cast so well before.

The kit comes complete with no less than eight pages of instructions, the only draw-back being that most of it is written in Russian.

The painting guide, however, is in colour and is full- proof.  

The three resin figures are provided are some of the best Resin 1/48 scale figures I have seen thus far. They are of appropriate height and bulk for thus scale, and come complete with both early and late style helmets.

A small etch set provides the machine gun aiming sites and machine gun belts.

In summary, this is a very impressive model featuring detail that would not be out of place in a 1/16 scale kit. This is one of those pieces that would add interest to any diorama or set piece model and is highly recommended.

Highly Recommended
