TomyTec Little Armory 1/12 LA088 M1A1 Type Thompson Sub-machinegun

Discover the iconic Thompson M1/M1A1, a hallmark of World War II U.S. Army firepower, now available in Tomytec's "Little Armory" series "Study 1942." This meticulously crafted 1/12-scale model kit celebrates the .45 caliber submachine gun, developed by the visionary former U.S. Army General John Thompson. Inspired by the brutal trench warfare of World War I, Thompson envisioned a compact, single-handed machine gun capable of delivering rapid-fire at close quarters. The M1/M1A1 variant, renowned for its mass-production-friendly design, became a staple for non-commissioned officers, tank crews, paratroopers, and scouts from 1942 onwards.

Tomytec's "Little Armory" series brings to life pre-World War II firearms that laid the groundwork for modern weaponry. The Thompson M1/M1A1 model kit, a frequent star of movies and TV shows, is expertly rendered in 1/12 scale, featuring dual-molded colors to replicate its wooden and metal components. Unlike the M1928 model, this kit boasts a press-processed receiver and simplified sight, meticulously replicated for authenticity. Modelers can choose between an open or closed bolt receiver, and select either a 20-round or 30-round magazine to customize their display.
