Quick Question for the Armor Group....
Posted by BaBill212 on Thursday, October 13, 2011 4:52 PM

Hi guys....   I've been sniffing around looking for a nice aftermarket 35th scale MG 13 (searching with little success).

 I am thinking of adding one to my  Pz I  Command Tank                   Considering this is the only armament I was hoping to plug in something nicer than the kit offering.

Any help is appreciated.........

 

Thanks

Bill

Enjoy the ride!

I seem to recall this coming up last year or the year before. As far as i am aware, there are none. Is the one in the kit not very good then.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Both Adlers Nest and Tank Models (of Russia) produce MG 13 barrels.

Bish,  Roy,            Thanks kindly to  you both....     Bish,,   they only provide the extruding barrel.       Roy, I am looking for the entire piece.   In my surfing I did see the barrels from Adlers (I believe).          My hopes were to find a complete MG.          I wanted to do an open hatch on the pz I....   I will try to find one in my armament stash...    clean it up a bit and go from there

Again, I appreciate your replies

 

Bill    

Enjoy the ride!

I ran into same issue when I worked on my Panzer I Ausf A a year ago.  I went ahead and used MG34 because I thought I found a picture of Pz I carrying those.  But I was wrong... Bill explained it was MG13 with longer flash suppressors.  Check my thread at:

/forums/t/131327.aspx?PageIndex=9

If I had to do it again I would have used MG34 barrels only with those extruding barrels to see if that works.

So far as I'm aware, there isn't a complete MG13 available as an AM piece in 1/35 scale. You might however be able to scrounge something over on the Aircraft side of the house in 1/32 scale as the MG13 was also used as the rear armament on the Stuka. Wink

Roy, thanks for that info on the barrels.

I can't find any MG 13's in 32nd scale either. I don't think there are any early *** kits around at the moment, so i guess no call for the gun's.
