i saw the initial post when the first lewis and hotchkiss came out and was impressed. recently the line of vickers was released so i decided to purchase a sampling to see first hand. well all i can say is holy shit these guns are nice. with the vickers and lewis you get a pair of guns with magazines, the lewis mags (there are 4 in the package) are the nicest ive seen and even have the handles molded open so you dont have to make them. the hochkiss is only one gun but it comes with the drum mag ,the strip mag, a batch bag for spent shells and a mounting fork. these are the nicest examples of ww1 aircraft guns in any scale.they have to be seen to be believed .the barrel tips are open but you may want to open them slightly more with a micro drill bit. i was also impressed with the packaging and the promptness of service. it took one week to get them in the u.s. from greece. the packaging is such that each individual part is tucked into a custon made foam block and this is in a rigid plastic package that can be opened and closed so that you can remove them and place them back in for protection. what i dont understand the most is there are no pour stubs or seams. i cast resin and i can see how they did it. the parts are pretty mauch ready to be painted and mounted on your model. oveall i am thouroughly impressed with every facet of these guns. all i can say is bring on the spandaus and parabellums. well worth every penny.
