Eduard 36086 M-55 Quad gun 1/35 Dragon – photo-etched detail set

Eduard 36086 M-55 Quad gun 1/35 Dragon is a high-quality photo-etched detail set dedicated to the M-55 Quad Gun model from Dragon in 1/35 scale. This product, created by the renowned Czech manufacturer Eduard, allows for a detailed representation of numerous elements that cannot be achieved using standard plastic parts included in the base model kit.

Historical Background of the Original

The M-55 Quad Gun Mount, also known as the M45 Quadmount, is an American anti-aircraft platform armed with four 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns. The platform was developed during World War II and was widely used not only in the final battles of the conflict, but also during the Korean War and the early years of the Cold War. The primary users of the M-55 were the United States as well as allied armies that received American military aid. The M-55 Quad Gun Mount proved to be ideal anti-aircraft armament for heavy half-track vehicles and tracked vehicles.
