I'm looking for an accurate DShK to replace the Tamyia one.
Is there a metal DShK ?
Thanks !

Panzershop included one in their Dsna, which I found to be very nice, and assume they sell as a separate item. The Tamiya MG is more than adequate however.

Friulmodel makes a white metal 'dushka' in 1:35.

I second Andy as well, though. What's wrong with the kit MG? One of the nicest kit-supplied machine guns I've seen.

Now that I see yur photos, THAT is the one Panzershop supplies in the Dana. I purchased that kit before Tamiya released the T-55, so it was the best one at the time, and probably still is if you want to fork out more money.

I Think The Friul AA Mg is the later type as seen on T-55m and the T-62

mmh..ok I'll stick with the one provided with the kit.
Since I'm tuning my T-55 I guessed there could be a nice AM set, (I haven't checked the kit sprues yet...)
thanks for saving me some money

Lost the original Tamiya T-55 MG when moved to my new place.
Which GOOD after-market MG fits and is a good replacement of the original one?

RB Models makes a nice replacement barrel for it.
