1/24 - Lewis MK II

Lewis MK II was the first purpose-built aircraft version, earlier versions being improvised from Lewis MK I guns.

The cooling fins were omitted to save weight, but a light protective shroud around the barrel was retained. The wooden stock was removed and replaced with a spade grip, which resembled the handle of a garden spade. A 97-round drum magazine was introduced which required a larger magazine spigot on the body of the gun.
