Intended for 3d print.

Swedish heavy machinegun team from the the interbellum/WW2 era. The soldiers are using the following equipment:

• The M/39 uniform.

• The M/37 steel helmet.

• The ksp M/36 Machine Gun. The Ksp (abbreviation of kulspruta) M/36 was essentially a Browning M1917, rechambered for the swedish standard 6.5×55mm caliber and fitted with spade grips.

The Ksp M/36 was a versatile weapon, and was used as an infantry support weapon, anti-aircraft gun (in a twin-mounted configuration) and mounted in tanks. Each Swedish infantry regiment had a machine gun company with - if I understand my sources correctly - 3 platoons with 12 M/36 guns each. Each regiment would also have a special company with 4 AA variants of the M/36. Additionally each rifle company would have a heavy platoon with 2 M/36 machine guns each. The M/36 would be replaced by the air-cooled M/39 in tanks later on during the war, and the air-cooled M/42 for infantry in 1943. It remained in limited use until the 1990s, by then rechambered for NATO standard 7.62x51mm caliber.

Printing instructions

Recommended printing scale is 28mm. The default scale of the models is also approximately 28mm when you first load them into your slicer. Note that you can easily alter the size of the models prior to printing. No models are currently pre-supported. Personally I think this gives the customer greater flexibility (as well as saving me quite a bit of effort...) , but you are welcome to send me a request to pre-support all models, and I'll upload them to the product free of charge. If you have any additional questions, for example re: various historical aspects, you can also contact me. I'm no expert, but I do have access to some fairly credible historical sources I've used when designing the models.
