This element of the Zvezda 'Hot War' range depicts the NSV 12.7mm machine gun, a standard heavy machine gun in use by the Soviet Army from the early 1970s and still in use during the late 1980s/early 1990s, when this set is supposed to be based. The weapon itself is very nicely detailed, entirely accurate, and is mounted on the usual 6U6 mounting for the infantry support role. The gunner, like all these figures, wears standard Soviet battledress and 6B5 body armour, so again perfectly suitable for the period. The machine-gunner's comrades each carry what looks like the AK-74 assault rifle, but the man firing has a grenade launcher attached to his, and naturally carries a number of grenades.
