M-2 Machine Guns
1:72 Eduard Brassin

The Browning M2 Machine gun, sometimes called the Browning .50 Calibre, or nicknamed the Ma Deuce was designed by John Browning toward the end of WWI. It was based on the already successful Browning M1919 gun which used the 30.06 round. As it used the .5 inch round it is referred to as a heavy machine gun. Over the years the weapon has been used by the Army in the ground role, the USAAF and later the USAF in aircraft. It has also been used by many other countries as well. The gun is still being produced today and now stands as the longest produced gun in the US inventory after the Colt .45 ACP Hang Gun (also designed by John Browning!).

The guns themselves are cast in resin and will need careful handling as the barrels are extremely thin. They can be configured as those in the aircraft wings, or those in the aircraft themselves by the addition of the photo-etched parts.

Conclusion
These parts should enhance any kit where the M-2 gun is seen. Highly Recommended.

A very useful item, nice to have a good number of them in a pack. These blow any injected parts included in kits out of the water, but they are especially nice for the older Academy heavies.
