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 type 502 bunker is a very similar design to the type 501in fact, it can be fairly accurately described as two type 501s grafted together side-by-side. Its name reflects this: the 501 is an einfacher Gruppenunterstand (single section housing), while the 502 is described as a Doppelgruppenunterstand (double section housing). Just as the type 501 was superseded by the 621, the 502 was replaced by the later 622 in the Atlantikwall. At least 1,718 type 502s were built, however.
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.
It will be printed to order. More items like this, STL files and short sci-fi stories are available from our website. Hunt in the virtual wilds for the Digital Taxidermy, you might like what you find.
Some of the images supplied are computer generated and are for reference. They are images of the files that will be 3D printed.
