MG-42 (The gun not member)

Post by AJWW2 » Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:20 pm

Will someone make a good detailed MG-42 with bipod? One that we can by in mass and equip our infantry with? We've got the MG-34's from marauders but we really need some 42's.

What about the MG-42 that comes with the FOV Bravo Team German figures... http://smalljoes.com/images_gen/FOVBT73 ... _large.jpg

I know it was one of the original planned 30 weapons for Marauder's Series 6 until it hit a series of major hiccups and many weapons had to be dropped. And it might be in Series 7.

I know it's nothing concrete or anything near it but I hope it helps in some way.

Is there anything about the FoV or 21st Century MG-42 that you would like done differently or is it simply an issue of how available they are? It would be easy to offer the one from the Panther II turret as a item by itself (minus the mounting bracket) or even include it with the Lafette Tripod.

AJ :mrgreen:
If you can track down the figure, the S1 21c German Machine Gunner figure from 2000-2001 had an MG-42 with extended bipod. This was not folded like on the Unimax Bravo Team version. I want to say the same gun came with the JSI rehash of the same figure from a couple years ago. The JSI one may be easier to find and cheaper... 21c also made the MG-34 with extended bipod that came with one of the German Fallschrimjager figures from 2002 as well as with that tanker figure from 2006-7.

Yes, one of yours with a bipod sold individually would be great.

It is an issue of availability and quality.

Yours look great, I would love if you sold them with the lafette tripod or on their own.

Maybe without the anti-aircraft sight.
