In 1944 the MG 08 was decidedly outdated, but still a very powerful and dangerous weapon. Despite its age it was successfully used in military operations along with other older weapons such as the American Browning M1917A1, The British Vickers Mk1 and the Soviet Maxim PM1910. This kit includes the MG 08 with a crew of two, and an infantryman pointing out a target to the gunner.
