WWI British Vickers MG CrewVickers MG & 2 figures Scale 1:35 ICM35713 Plastic Model Figures Kit

British Vickers MG Crew figure set in 1/35 scale by ICM represents a World War I machine gun team operating the well-known Vickers water-cooled machine gun. The set includes two British soldiers and equipment associated with the Vickers heavy machine gun, widely used by the British Army during the early twentieth century and throughout World War I.

The Vickers machine gun became one of the most recognizable crew-served weapons of the First World War. Introduced before the conflict and retained in service for decades, it was valued for reliability and sustained fire capability thanks to its water-cooled barrel system. Machine gun teams operated the weapon from tripod mounts and supported infantry units in defensive and covering fire roles.

British Vickers Machine Gun Team - World War I Infantry Support Crew

Machine gun crews usually consisted of several soldiers responsible for operating the weapon, feeding ammunition belts, and maintaining the cooling system. The Vickers gun used fabric ammunition belts and a water jacket around the barrel to allow long firing periods. Such crews were a regular element of infantry formations on many fronts of the war.

For modelers: The combination of figures, tripod-mounted machine gun, and ammunition equipment makes this set suitable for trench scenes or infantry support positions. Painting the figures and weapon separately before final placement can help preserve uniform details and metallic finishes on the gun assembly.
