Art of Tactic Game Card

The following game card accompanied my Zvezda British Vickers Machine Gun with crew 1/72 scale model. The literature included in the packaging explains that the card is used in a gaming system. I visited the site, but did not see any further information on the importance of these cards.

A screenshot of the original image was taken here.

The four figures and Vickers machine gun do not require any glue to assemble. I did not notice any flash on any of the components and the parting lines if they exist are minimal. The kit includes two spruces with the four figures, bases (2), and machine gun being divided between the two spruces.

The 1/72 scale is a rather a small scale and some of the pieces are very small and delicate. Care should be taken when removing these from their spruces. The detail of the figures is better than some I have seen and the poses are functional and realistic. Whether a machine gun crew would set-up without any cover is question that will have to addressed when deciding what details should be added to base.

I will be using the following two resources when deciding how I should detail the machine gun.

• British WWII Vickers Display Machine Gun with Tripod

Artizan Designs' Painting Guides

I recently purchased a copy of Zvezda’s British Machine Gun w/Crew 1939-42. This set includes four 1/72 miniatures, three British soldiers and one machine gun. I have been searching for painting guides for British army figures and came across Artizan Designs' WWII Painting & Camo Guides. Each guide is cross referenced with a general colors and a Vallejo Model paints color.
