Have you ever found that you need a spare MG42 or two ? Perhaps a few stray rifles laying around ? Or just that you have a set of figures that came with no weapons based on their intended role but you wish to use them elsewhere and need to find weapons and equipment for them ? It seems that Tamiya thought of that years ago and released this small and inexpensive set of assorted weapons and ammunition.
This comes in a small open ended box containing two silvery grey sprues, both of which are the same so you get two of each item included. This is an older set from Tamiya so some of the details on some of the weapons is a little soft and they all have minor mould seams to remove, but there is no flash other than some very minor bits between the individual rounds in the ammo belts. Some of the mouldings are quite delicate and include quite a bit of detail.
One nice feature is that the sprues have moulded guides for the placement of the feet of the MG42/MG34 Anti-Aircraft Tripod to aid in assembling them.
