16.02 VK35003 Ammo Boxes for the 3cm MK 103 & 3cm Flak 103/38 1/35

The 16.02 VK35003 set is a high-quality plastic model depicting realistic ammunition boxes designed for the legendary German 3cm MK 103 and 3cm Flak 103/38 cannons. This model has been produced in the popular 1/35 scale among modelers, allowing for detailed reproduction of features and compatibility with most vehicle models and dioramas from the World War II period.

The original boxes of this type were manufactured for the German army during World War II. Used mainly by the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht anti-aircraft units, they were an essential part of the equipment for vehicles, anti-aircraft positions, and aircraft armed with the 3cm MK 103 cannons, which were widely used on both the Western and Eastern Fronts between 1943 and 1945. These guns gained fame for their high rate of firepower and effectiveness against ground targets, aircraft, and even lightly armored vehicles. The boxes allowed for quick transport and efficient reloading of ammunition directly on the battlefield.

The product is made from high-quality plastic using injection molding technology, resulting in very sharp division lines and precise texturing of the wooden boxes. The set includes both closed and open boxes, allowing for varied diorama scenes or enriching the equipment of vehicles and artillery positions. The manufacturer did not include photo-etched or resin parts, but the overall detail quality is impressive.
