E.T. Model P35-332 U.S. Army M242 Bushmaster 25mm Chain Gun 1/35

E.T. Model P35-332 U.S. Army M242 Bushmaster 25mm Chain Gun 1/35 is an extremely precise 1/35 scale kit designed for the most demanding military modelers specializing in modern battlefield military vehicles. The model represents the American 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun—one of the most recognizable automatic cannons used by the United States Army and NATO allied forces.

The M242 Bushmaster was developed in the 1970s. Widely fielded since the 1980s, it became standard armament on the M2/M3 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, the LAV-25 wheeled armored personnel carriers of the U.S. Marine Corps, and was also mounted on numerous naval platforms and AH-1 Cobra helicopters. It has seen action in many conflicts from the Cold War through to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, proving to be highly reliable and effective against lightly armored targets.

The E.T. Model P35-332 set is made from high-quality resin and photo-etched (metal) parts, allowing for maximum detail—both in terms of barrel construction, chain mechanism segments, and all the small components characteristic of this weapon. The metal barrel guarantees exceptional precision, and the included photo-etched parts enable the recreation of even the smallest details, such as the barrel mounting system and cooling elements.
