Intended for 3d print.

Swedish twin-mounted heavy machineg un in anti-aircraft configuration, from the the interbellum/WW2 era. The soldiers are using the following equipment:

- The M/39 uniform.

- The M/37 steel helmet.

- The ksp M/36 Machine G un. The Ksp (abbreviation of "kulspruta") M/36 was essentially a Browning M1917, rechambered for the swedish standard 6.5×55mm caliber and fitted with spade grips.

- Binoculars. Manufactured by German Zeiss.

- Pistol holster (the pistol is a M/1907, essentially a redesignated Belgian FN M1903)

The Ksp M/36 was a versatile weapon, and was used as an infantry support weapon, anti-aircraft g un (in a twin-mounted configuration) and mounted in tanks. Each Swedish infantry regiment had a machine g un company with - if I understand my sources correctly - 3 platoons with 12 M/36 g uns each. Each regiment would also have a special company with 4 AA variants of the M/36. Additionally each rifle company would have a heavy platoon with 2 M/36 machine g uns each.
The M/36 would be replaced by the air-cooled M/39 in tanks later on during the war, and the air-cooled M/42 for infantry in 1943. It remained in limited use until the 1990s, by then rechambered for NATO standard 7.62x51mm caliber. I am unsure if the M/36 was replaced by any later models for AA purposes during WW2, but I'm getting the sense that it was not. Though I surmise it may have been gradually overshadowed by heavier-caliber g uns like the highly successful 40mm Bofors Automatic G un (known internationally as the L/60).

Swedish preparedness at the outset of WW2 was generally poor, and its anti-aircraft capability was no exception. Sweden lacked adequate armaments, and air defense was not an established part of the armed forces. Instead, volutary private organizations had sprung up in towns and cities around the country, purchasing arms and training personnel. These private organizations owned and operated heavy g uns, and were eventually incorporated into the Swedish armed forces in 1939.

Females had a notable role in Sweden's air defense. Female members of the home guard, known as "Lottor" after the fictional character Lotta Svärd in the patriotic poem "Fänrik Ståls Sägner", were used as spotters, reporting in sighted foreign planes via telephone or radio. I probably missed an opportunity to include a female model in this pack, and I may add one at a later date.

Printing instructions

Recommended printing scale is 28mm. The default scale of the models is also approximately 28mm when you first load them into your slicer. Note that you can easily alter the size of the models prior to printing. No models are currently pre-supported. Personally I think this gives the customer greater flexibility (as well as saving me quite a *** of effort...) , but you are welcome to send me a request to pre-support all models, and I'll upload them to the product free of charge. If you have any additional questions, for example re: various historical aspects, you can also contact me. I'm no expert, but I do have access to some fairly credible historical sources I've used when designing the models.
