Responsibility details are not available.
A modeling accessory in 1:35 scale from the Czech manufacturer Special Hobby: the British Vickers heavy machine gun in the version matching the Second World War. It is not a vehicle model or a standalone piece for a display case, but a weapon that you add to a scene, to figures or onto a vehicle. The manufacturer has a First World War variant in the same line too, so the scale and the period are the distinguishing details by which you pick the right one.
The Vickers was a British water-cooled heavy machine gun of .303 caliber, derived in design from the Maxim system. The British army adopted it before the First World War and it stayed in service for several decades. It is recognized by the cylindrical cooling jacket around the barrel, the canvas ammunition belt and the unmistakable tripod. The Second World War version differs from the older one in details of the muzzle end, the sights and the cooling accessories. It served as infantry support at battalion level, was crewed by several men and also appeared on vehicles and in fortified positions.
The set suits modelers who build British and Allied Second World War subjects in 1:35 scale and want armament that is faithful in detail. Anyone who can already handle small parts and tweezers will manage it. It combines well with figures and with vehicles of the same scale from any manufacturer.
Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water before painting and let them dry properly. Thin parts such as the cooling jacket and the tripod legs are fragile, so handle them carefully and with good lighting.
