1:35 Scale Model Set "Spent 40mm Shell Casings (Mk 19 Automatic Grenade Launcher)" (158 pcs) SPALAH 33535
Historical Background The American Mk 19 40mm automatic grenade launcher is a powerful fire support weapon used by armed forces worldwide. It is capable of delivering intense high-explosive fragmentary fire, effectively neutralizing enemy personnel and light armored vehicles. The Mk 19 is mounted on a wide variety of platforms, ranging from HMMWV tactical vehicles to patrol boats and APCs. In the war in Ukraine, these launchers have become indispensable for both mobile fire groups (often referred to as "banderomobiles") and stationary infantry positions, leaving behind characteristic piles of massive 40mm casings after intense engagements.
Model Information This 1:35 scale set by SPALAH features 158 high-detail replicas of spent 40mm grenade casings. Thanks to high-resolution 3D printing technology, each casing boasts a perfect form, including its distinct flared shape and a detailed headstamp. The models are crafted from high-quality photopolymer resin, ensuring durability and exceptional clarity of the finest elements. The generous quantity of 158 pieces allows for a realistic recreation of a "shell-strewn" grenade launcher position or a vehicle bed.
Purpose and Application This set is designed for professional detailing of dioramas and vignettes featuring modern Western equipment and infantry. The casings can be scattered in the beds of pickup trucks, near Humvee turrets, or on trench embankments alongside an Mk 19 launcher. This level of detailing adds dynamic energy to a scene, emphasizing a moment of intense fire contact.
