New 1/72 Orion set available now - some figures useful for WW1
Permalink   

With Orion's 1/72 quadruple Maxim AA set out now, there are some conversion possibilities. The figures should be useful for WW1 too after a headswap and carving away the breast pockets.

Unfortunately, the Russians didn't use the quadruple Maxim in WW1 as these pages indicate:

Regards, Pat

PS: Speaking of WW1 machine guns, this page has some interesting images:

Thanks for the link, Pat.

I've never looked around that shop before, so that was also interesting! And good prices, too.

I liked the look of this set when I saw some pre-release pictures a while back. For WWI, I'm sure the quad MG will break down into useful spares. And I think the figures will go well with this:
