1 Small "Tobruk" type Bunker with tank turret (German).
This little bunker, called by the allies a 'Tobruk', was usually occupied by one man who operated a MG42 machinegun. There were 8 basic types and a lot of variants on the Tobruk. There were Tobruks for flametrowers and covered ones, with protected wall's, for the 50mm cannons. Other types of the 'Tobruk' could be used to fire mortars from. This last one is recognisable on the little pillar in the middle where the mortar was placed. A little door at the side gave entrance to the bunker, that was often buried; sometimes it had a short side wall to protect it, like our model here. Tobruk's were also modified to carry turrets of tanks, mostly pre-war turrets. For example, a Tobruk with a R35 tank turret, containing a 3,7 cm gun, could be found at Le Grand Vey (Wn 101) at the southern point of Utah Beach. Usually one would find these 'ringstand' bunkers near the large complexes with big casemates. This was the most simple form of bunker building; they were placed as a defensive outside ring.
Our model mounts a modified FT 17 captured turret, the original domed hatch has been replaced by a more practical German model.
This historically accurate reproduction has plenty of beautifully sculpted surface detail to help you in painting, and like all other models in this range it is made of tough POLYURETHANE. Overall size is 67x57mm and the max height is 32mm. Supplied unpainted and without gun.
