Zvezda 3609 Soviet DSHK With Crew WWII (1/35) – Plastic Model Kit

The Zvezda 3609 Soviet DSHK With Crew model in 1/35 scale is a faithfully reproduced set that allows for building the Soviet large-caliber DShK machine gun with a full WWII crew. This kit is produced by the renowned company Zvezda, specializing in high-quality historical models, guaranteeing accurate details and a realistic representation of both the weapon and its crew.

The DShK (Degtyaryov-Shpagin Large Caliber) is a Soviet 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, introduced to the Red Army arsenal in the late 1930s. It was widely used during World War II, not only on armored vehicles and trucks but also in tripod-mounted versions as anti-aircraft and infantry support weapons. Known for its reliability and high rate of fire, the DShK played a significant role on the Eastern Front, protecting soldiers from air attacks and supporting offensives.

This set allows you to build a detailed model of the DShK on its mount with three Soviet soldier figures in dynamic poses operating the gun. The model features weaponry and uniforms characteristic of the World War II (1939–1945) period. The DShK was used, among others, during the Battle of Kursk and the urban fights in Berlin.
