Master Box British Infantry Weapons WW-II

I'd just like to say WOW, it's nice so see these really nice weapons in this set. I'm looking forward to seeing the other weapons sets that they are planning to release.
The Kit:

The kit contains the following weapons:
Four Sten Sub Machine guns (one MK II, two MK III, two MK V) all with a 32 round detachable magazine. Four Lee-Enfield Rifles (One No. 1 MKI with Bayonet, One No. 1 MK III, One No. 4 MK I and one No. 4 MK 1 with bayonet). One Bren MK I Machine gun with bipod, One Boys Anti-Tank Rifle with monopod, One Lewis gun with bipod, One Piat Anti-Tank weapon, One Enfield MK 2 Revolver and one Vickers MK I medium Machine Gun with water can and two different ammo cans (one opened and one closed). It also comes with two different Tripods (both of my review tripods broke in transit). The only draw back is that it doesn't come with the rubber tubing to run from the gun to the water can, but since I have a ton of thin plastic coated wire this will not be a problem. It also comes with six “Tommy” style steel helmets.
Conclusion: This is a pretty cool set of weapons for anyone that builds British or Common Wealth figures, vehicles or Dioramas.
I highly recommend this kit for anyone who enjoys figures and wants to add cool British weapons to their dioramas. I would like to thank Alexander Surzhenko of Master Box Models for the review kit.

I see that the PIAT (Platoon Infantry Anti-Tank) weapon comes loaded.

As far as the tubing for the Vickers gun is concerned, thin solder is ideal for that as it can be easily bent to follow any curve you want.
 Nice to see that MB included a short run of ammo belt for the gun.

The Vickers is a very welcome addition to many who build the Tamiya L.R.D.G. Chevrolet truck.

It's nice that MB gives two types of Lee Enfield rifles. The No.1 Mk III LE was the type used in 1940 France and during the North African Campaign.

A bit of trivia about the Sten gun.When being carried but not ready for immediate action the cooling jacket with the magazine attached could be rotated down so that it was vertical like the German machine pistols to protect the action from dirt.

A neat scene using a STEN gun is to have a figure throwing the loaded gun into a room or building. Canadian troops often did that because the STEN would hit the floor and start firing.

Peter,
Always great to hear from you...
Even better when you part some of the vast wisdom that you have on us
(non British/Commonwealth) builders.
I prefer grenades for clearing a room, but I can see how a sten would do a
pretty good job too... LOL
