Vickers K Ammuntion
The Vickers K GO (Gas Operated) was originally a Royal Air Force observers gun as it had a high rate of fire which made it suitable for shooting at high speed planes and getting as many bullets on target in the short space of time in which a plane would have been visible and in range. In 1943, the Browning Machine Gun replaced the Vickers as the primary weapon in aircraft so they were effectively made redundant. However, the Special Air Service found that the Vickers K gun was an ideal weapon for the types of missions which they would be undertaking. The high rate of fire made it so the SAS would be able to get as many bullets into the target without having to stay on the ground longer than necessary. The SAS mounted the guns on their jeeps usually in pairs with two at the front and two at the back and then a single piece was sometimes mounted on the drivers side wing so the driver could get provide additional support as necessary.

US
Due to the ever fluctuating tariff and tax charges incurred by sending to the US, coupled now by the UK Royal Mail charging fees to export to the US, we have had no choice but to add a Tracked delivery fee to cover all costs. Regrettably for some, this could be higher than required, but we have no means of calculating delivery fees charges per order. Apologies to our loyal US customers who have been accustomed to a far lower postal rate, but this is out of our hands.

About Resin
Ordinary plastic modelling glue is not suitable for resin. The best glue to use is a quality Super Glue (Cyanoacrylate), Gorilla Glue (Micro Precise) or Resin Epoxy Glue.
Resin cures in UV light, continual exposure to UV light will the resin more brittle, Due the nature of curing resin, some smaller parts will be more brittle and some of the larger parts slightly softer (hardly noticeable). There is also the slight possibility of fine layer lines showing, but these are hard to see with the naked eye.
This model is made of resin and therefore not suitable for young children or animals.
Resin is dangerous if ingested
