1/35 Set of 5 guns – German MP28

Dynamo Models A35013 – 1/35 Set of 5 Guns – German MP28 is a highly detailed weapon accessory set containing five Maschinenpistole 28 submachine guns. Digitally sculpted and produced in 3D-printed resin, the set is designed for upgrading early WWII figures, vignettes and historical dioramas. The MP28’s wooden stock, perforated barrel jacket and distinctive side-mounted magazine give it a noticeably different appearance from later German submachine guns such as the MP38 and MP40. Dynamo Models confirms the A35013 reference, 1/35 scale, five-weapon contents and 3D-printed resin construction.

Contexte historique et thème

The MP28, more precisely the MP 28/II, was developed by Hugo Schmeisser as an evolution of the earlier MP18. Introduced in 1928, it retained the general layout of its predecessor while adding improvements including a fire selector that allowed both single-shot and automatic fire.

The weapon used a conventional wooden stock and a perforated metal barrel jacket, with the detachable box magazine inserted horizontally from the left side of the receiver. The MP28 was produced in several calibers for different markets, including 9×19 mm Parabellum, and was exported internationally through licensing arrangements.

The MP28 was not the standard submachine gun of the wartime Wehrmacht. Its German use was more strongly associated with police and security organizations, while examples also appeared in military and security service during World War II. This makes it especially suitable for carefully researched early-war, police and security-related subjects rather than as a generic replacement for the MP40.

Détails et réalisme des figurines et véhicules

The MP28 has a distinctive early-generation submachine-gun appearance. Its traditional full wooden stock contrasts strongly with the metal folding-stock configuration of later German designs, while the perforated barrel shroud and horizontal magazine provide immediately recognizable visual features.

Dynamo Models reproduces the Maschinenpistole 28 as digitally sculpted 3D-printed resin accessories. The manufacturer specifically describes A35013 as a detailed reproduction intended for early WWII figures, dioramas, vignettes and displays.

With five weapons included, modelers can equip several figures consistently or distribute individual MP28s between different historical projects.

Utilisation en diorama et en affichage

A35013 is particularly useful for early-WWII scenes, German police subjects and historically researched security-unit figures. The weapons can be carried by figures, positioned beside personnel at checkpoints or command posts, or incorporated into urban and occupation-period settings where the MP28 is appropriate.

The MP28 can also support interwar and early twentieth-century projects because the weapon predates World War II and was exported beyond Germany. For any specific national or military setting, reference photographs should be used to confirm the correct variant and period.

The weapons can additionally be placed as loose equipment inside buildings, beside vehicles or within equipment displays to introduce greater variety than more commonly modeled German small arms.

Matériel et personnalisation

Dynamo Models A35013 contains five 1/35 scale MP28 weapons produced in 3D-printed resin. The accessories are digitally sculpted and modeled and are supplied ready for painting. Glue and paint are not included.

Painting can emphasize the contrast between the wooden stock and the dark metal receiver, barrel jacket and magazine. Subtle variation in wood tones, controlled metallic highlights and restrained wear can bring out the fine printed details while maintaining a realistic scale appearance.

À qui s'adresse-t-il ?

This set is ideal for 1/35 figure painters, early-WWII modelers and diorama builders looking for less common German small arms. It is particularly valuable for projects where a standard MP40 would not be the most historically appropriate choice.

The five-gun format also makes A35013 practical for small figure groups or modelers who want several matching weapons available for future conversions and historical scenes.
