Eduard 72422 Spandau Guns WWI 1/72 – World War I Aircraft Gun Set

Eduard 72422 Spandau Guns WWI 1/72 is a precision set of plastic Spandau machine guns, dedicated to modelers recreating German World War I aircraft in the popular 1/72 scale. Eduard kits are known for exceptional attention to detail, and this product is no exception—it features faithfully reproduced weapon models that were the standard armament of Luftstreitkräfte fighters, such as the Fokker D.VII, Albatros D.Va, and Pfalz D.III.

The Spandau machine gun (formally lMG 08 or lMG 08/15) was widely used by Imperial Germany from 1915 to 1918. These guns were installed on most German fighters as well as reconnaissance and bomber planes, enabling pilots to effectively engage in aerial combat. Equipped with a synchronization gear, the Spandau allowed safe fire through the spinning propeller, which changed the course of aerial warfare during World War I.
