Reply To: WANTED – Soviet Maxim Machine Gun Ammo Boxes

Casting would be good way to go if boxes weren’t molded to the figures bodies and were generic in appearance . They don’t look anything like the real boxes I’m afraid . The good news is I’ve heard back from someone on one of the plastic model kit sites I lurk in , and he steered me to Super Hobby out of Poland that carries EMP3d printed 1/48 scale cans . I ‘ve ordered a few of the Maxim as well as the DSHK heavy mg type and some for my MG34 gun crews . At about $3.50 US for 5 cans , its worth checking out . If they don’t work with my BA stuff I do have a few Tamiya 1/48 Russians that could use them as you get the Maxim in the kit but no boxes or belts .

Depending on what Russian war movie you’re watching , sometimes they all have belts of bullets , especially those Soviet sailor types .
