I've had this venerable Tamiya set knocking about for a while now, so recently I released the parts into the wild and began assembly. It's a useful 'top-up' to soft plastic figure sets which are fine for blokes with rifles, SMG and LMG but tend to be lacking anything heavier. This set contains a .30 cal MG, a Bazooka, a 0.50 cal AAMG and a mortar, along with eight crew figures.
Like all of these Tamiya kits it all went together easily enough. The paintwork is intended to help them fit in with my 54mm Airborne figures.

Excellent. I found the hard plastic kits fine for wargaming, as long as I didn't drop them....too often....
That AAMG is a very nice piece of kit.
Ah this brings back memories. I remember using this kit as kid to convert a toy halftrack into a mortar carrier.

Quite. They don’t bounce as well as their bendy brethren.

The AAMG alone justifies the purchase of the kit.

And no doubt you glued the MGs onto the same halftrack?
Sure did. At least with the .50 cal.
I have support weapon envy

We’d all have done exactly the same in your shoes.

Everything looks bigger in 54mm...
