I have an aftermarket resin 12.7 heavy machine gun "DShKT" by Tank Model. For which tank(s) would this be appropriate for?

The 12.7mm DShK heavy MG is equivalent to the US .50 cal Browning M2 HB. As such, it was used on almost any tank and armored vehicle it could be mounted on. It was in widespread use in the Soviet Army through the early '70s, when it was replaced by the NVS heavy MG. It can still be seen on many third world armored vehicles today though.

Where did you manage to track one of those down?
I've been poking about in shows and shops up here in the NE and have not been able to lay my hands on one.
I know I can order them within the states and from overseas, but this time of year I try not to offer any sacrifices to the postal gods. -grin-
