Looking through my diorama parts I unearthed some items including CMK's late, drill press, and grinder set, said to be late war and post-WW2. Are they German, British, American, or whatever? Or did they just come up with generic machines with the idea the modeler can use them anywhere?

I have the very same three sets I'm going to use for a post war motorcycle shop in Germany. The lather looks sufficiently European, although I'm not sure why. It's less boxy than the 1:1 version I use. The drill press and grinders look pretty standard. Hoping to convert the drill press into an end mill. shouldn't be too hard.

Hi Tom. I believe they are supposed to be generic items to be used in any era by any side. Ive seen them popping up everywhere over the years.
