1/35 WWI German Infantry Weapon and Equipment

The armament of the German infantry changed markedly during the First World War. Late in the war came the Bergmann MP18 submachine gun and the Tankgewehr M1918 anti-tank rifle, a response to British tanks. The M1916 steel helmet replaced the earlier leather helmets.

The ICM set has 146 parts. The manufacturer lists Tankgewehr M1918 anti-tank rifles, MG08/15 machine guns with ammunition boxes, Mauser G98 rifles and carbines, ammunition pouches, Bergmann MP18 submachine guns, Mauser C96 and Luger P08 pistols with holsters, knife bayonets with scabbards, assault knives, two types of hand grenades, M1916 steel helmets, respirator canisters and filters, large and small shovels, pickaxes, axes, wire cutters, mess tins, canteens, flashlights and binoculars with cases.

Thanks to the 1/35 scale, the parts can be spread across figures, along a trench wall or in the background of a 1914–1918 diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
