Who makes a nice MG42 and ammo belt?

I am looking for a good MG42 to put on a SDKFZ 250 that I am working on. I am going to have to get an ammo belt for it also. I don’t have any in the parts box. Who makes a nice one? Thanks, Greg.

The one from Dragon’s Gen2 set is really good and pretty low in price. hollowed out muzzle, and comes in separate pieces.

Collector’s Brass makes some really nice machine guns. I didn’t see an MG 42 on their list, but they had several versions of the MG 34. Don’t know if that’s worth a look or not.

Dont’ know about the MG42, but you might consider the BEST MG34 I’ve ever seen.

Model Shattenbau, some guy in Germany, machining barrel and shroud that is UNBELEIVABLE.

I don’t know how he got the holes so small.

I got mine from M&Models back east (Marty and Mary), cost was $12. A little price, but a real gem!

Thanks for the help! Greg.

i have used the 2cm flak barrels and trust me they are very good

not looked for the mg42 but its worth a look

Your in Tacoma? You should know about R & J over in Quillicine(?) Wa. They’ve got collectors brass, and most any other aftermarket parts you might want. Good folks, reliable service.

I have the Collectors Brass versions and found them to be poor castings. The Gen2 stuff from dragon is better.

Thanks for your responces. I ordered one of the Dragon gen2 figure kits that has the MG 42. I was planning on using an Abers 20 mm barrel but after looking at the one from Schatton Modellbau well I plan on making a change. That is fantastic detail on the flash supressor. Thanks for your advice guys!!! Greg.
