Dutch S3 and S4 Kazemat

Model of the Dutch Kazemat S3 and S3. The kazemat had 1 Machine Gun, but three firing holes. Which was not ideal, as it required to move the Gun to an other location if needed. Many different types of camouflage was added, from adding wood to have it look like barn, or covered in green, painted in different patterns etc.
A few hundred had been build before the Germans attacked. The firing holes, which would be covered by just a 2 cm steel-plate, were a weak spot and many received direct hits from German guns like the 88mm.

5 types are included;
- S3(FL) Kazemat Heavy Machine gun
- S3 Kazemat Heavy Machine gun
- S3 Kazemat Light Machine gun rear door
- S3 Kazemat Light Machine gun with a vertical access-tube
- S4 Kazemat Light Machine gun

Armament : Schwarzlose M.08/15 (Included) or M.20 Lewis Gun (Not included)

The models includes all you need to create a number of different versions. Two types S3 kazemat for light machine gun (M.20 Lewis), two types S3 kazemat for a Schwarsloze M.08/15 machine gun and a S4-Kazemat LMG.

The Heavy Machine Gun was placed on supports in the kazemat (see pictures).

The MG-hatch is somewhat difficult to place, rather small to get it fit correctly in the MG opening, so in 1:100 you could also not add it. I did not bother anymore.

The large parts will print fine with an FDM printer, but some details do require a Resin printer, like the HMG is resin print only. Models will scale fine up to 1:50. (However I only test-print in 1:100)

Testprint done on an Ender 5 (016mm layer) and Anycubic Mono SE (005mm layer)
