US Heavy Weapons Platoon (Plastic)

Designed to provide multiple force-building options, this set includes a broad selection of support weapons used by US Army units throughout the Second World War. Whether reinforcing defensive positions or supporting an aggressive advance, these teams add significant tactical flexibility to any American force.

The crew models are sculpted in mid-to-late war US Army uniforms and are fully compatible with the plastic infantry range, allowing hobbyists to customise units and create unique command or support teams with ease.

• 2 heavy weapons sprues
• 2 M1919 .30 calibre medium machine guns
• 4 Browning M2 .50 calibre heavy machine guns (Heavy Barrel and AN/M2 variants)
• 4 machine gun tripods
• 2 M1 81mm medium mortars with bipods
• Ammunition and weapon accessories included
• 3 crew sprues containing 12 infantry models

Depending on how you assemble the kit, you can field up to four heavy weapons teams or build three teams supported by a platoon commander and bodyguards. The generous selection of spare parts also makes this set a valuable resource for conversions and customisation projects.

On the tabletop, mortar teams provide essential indirect fire support while machine guns dominate firing lanes and key objectives. The formidable .50 cal HMG adds an extra layer of battlefield threat, bringing the kind of firepower that made American forces so effective during the war.

Supplied unassembled and unpainted, this box is an excellent addition for players looking to strengthen their US Army collection with versatile support units and iconic heavy weapons.
