About product

The saddle double drum for the German machine gun

The double magazine consists of two joined containers fitted from above so that the weapon sits between them. It is exactly that feature which makes the silhouette unmistakable, and on a model in 1:35 scale it can be recognized even from a distance. The package covers the magazine itself, not the whole weapon.

What the double magazine was for

Belt feed is flexible, but a belt tangles and gets in the way in the tight space of a vehicle. The double container offered a compact alternative with no hanging loop, at the price of a smaller supply of ammunition and longer reloading. It was therefore used above all where space was short or where short bursts were expected. Reloading also meant taking the whole assembly off, not just attaching a new end of the feed.

Advice on working with it

Check whether the shape of the top cover matches what your weapon has; the double drum takes a different cover from belt feed. Glue the magazine on only after the base coat, or a brush will not reach the lower surfaces. Keep the metal surface rather flat and add sheen only on the edges the crew touched. Pick the seam between the two containers out in a darker shade, or the double drum will merge into one smooth block.

Who it is for

  • builders of armored vehicles with a weapon in a ball mount
  • modelers working out a dismounted crew in a diorama
  • collectors of small details in 1:35 scale
  • those who want to set a weapon apart from the usual rendering
  • anyone interested in the period ways of feeding ammunition

FAQ

It saved space and did away with the hanging loop of a belt, which helped above all in the tight space of a vehicle.

Yes, with this kind of feed the cover is different from the belt version. Without the swap the shape would not match.

It is not. You are buying only the magazine, which is added to a weapon built from another source.

Only after the base coat on the weapon. Otherwise a brush will not reach under the lower surfaces of the containers.
