Zvezda Dshk AA gun with crew.

/gallery/albums/userpics/11098/P1070262.JPG
Bought this kit a couple of years ago, but it was put aside for some reason, but now i thought it was time to have a look at it.
 

------------------------------------


Inside the box is 3 sprues, one for the gun, one for the crew and a small transparent part for the sight together with a crosshair decal.
 
The parts are very nice with almost no flash and sinkmarks, the details are very nice and sharp (for an injection molded kit).

Assembly of the gun goes very smooth, and the pieces fits good together,
just some small parts that can be a little tricky,  but that's no big problem.

The only thing i found is that the instruction is a little unclear of where the parts go (like the ammobelt for example).
Assembly of the crew is a walk in the park, perfect fit between the different parts, one thing though if you use the tripod legs with moulded on hands, you have to be carefull how you position arms and torso so it will fit the gun, i drilled holes and inserted a thin metal thread in the arm and hand to make a little stronger connection.

The equipment is well detailed, but takes a little trimming with a knife to sit good on the figures.
The four weapons included for the crew are very nice detailed, 2 rifles moulded in 2 pieces ( the small handle on the top is a separete piece), 1 Pps machinegun with drum magazine and one with stick magazine.

I enjoyed this kit very much and there will be more of Zvezda's kits in the stash in the future!
