Set of scale model "Loader hatch with machine gun FN MAG for Leopard 2"

1:35 Scale Model Add-on "Loader's Hatch with FN MAG Machine Gun for Leopard 2" SPALAH SP36535

Historical Background The loader's hatch on the Leopard 2 main battle tank is an important element of the turret design, providing not only access for a crew member but also serving as a mounting point for anti-aircraft weaponry. A significant number of countries operating this tank (including the Netherlands, Sweden, as well as vehicles transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces) install the reliable and powerful 7.62mm Belgian-made FN MAG general-purpose machine gun on the turret instead of the standard German MG3. This weapon is characterized by exceptional reliability and is used for the armored vehicle's self-defense against infantry, light vehicles, and low-flying targets at close ranges.

Model Information The SPALAH set in 1:35 scale meticulously reproduces the design features of the loader's hatch and the flawless detailing of the FN MAG machine gun with the corresponding turret mount for Leopard 2 family tanks. Manufactured using high-precision 3D printing from premium photopolymer resin, it allows for the rendering of the finest nuances of the weapon's receiver, mounts, and the texture of the hatch itself — detailing that is physically unattainable in basic plastic injection molding. The parts are supplied with supports and in protective boxes to prevent damage during transportation. The set is designed for the easy replacement of stock plastic parts.

Purpose The set is perfectly suited for modelers building Leopard 2 models and aiming to achieve maximum historical accuracy. The highly detailed FN MAG machine gun will become an excellent visual accent on the turret of your model, significantly increasing its overall level of visual appeal and scale realism.
