The Battle of Merville Gun Battery occurred on 6 June 1944, as part of Operation Tonga, part of the Normandy landings, during the Second World War. Allied intelligence believed the Merville Gun Battery was composed of heavy-calibre guns that could threaten the British landings at Sword Beach, only 8 miles (13 km) away.
The German type 501 bunker was designed in 1939, as part of the planned Westwall defences against France the German counterpart to the French Maginot line. After construction of the Atlantik wall was started in 1942, the type 501 was built there as well, although it was later superseded by the type 621, which was roughly the same size but of more up-to-date design. At least 1,519 type 501 bunkers were built during World War II.
This is a multipart model and is printed in PLA. It will have a texture consistent with all types of filament printing
Larger scale bunker models are printed in sections. In some cases more sections than pictured.
Will require basic assembly.

Digital Taxidermy is a new design studio producing ranges of 3D printed models and STL files for home printing. Our little world has spawned a series of science fiction stories set in our world under the heading ?A Jolly Fine Dystopia? these stories and the models are heading towards a tabletop skirmish and RPG game still to come.
The model is printed in PLA at a 0.3mm layer height. It will have a texture consistent with filament printing.
Smaller scales may be substituted for print in ABS-like resin.
Some clean up and finishing may be required.
Models are supplied unpainted and It will be printed to order, allow max 10 days for production.
