[Machine Translation] The Thompson M1/M1A1 is a World War II-era U.S. Army submachine gun that uses the same .45 caliber round as the Government pistol. It was developed by John Thompson, a former U.S. Army general. After witnessing the fierce trench warfare of World War I, he believed there was a need for a one-man, hand-held machine gun that could be used as a "trench broom" to provide a barrage at close range, and he developed the Thompson submachine gun series. The M1/M1A1 was adopted by the military in 1942 and was used by enlisted men, tank soldiers, paratroopers, and reconnaissance soldiers. The 1/12 scale kit accurately reproduces the gun used in various movies and productions, with wood and metal parts reproduced in two molded colors. The gun is available with 20 or 30 rounds of ammunition. Recommended to use adhesives for plastic models.
