At a recent defence exhibition, delegates had their first sight of plastic ammunition and weapons. Both the cannon in the foreground and the ammunition are made by Lawson’s from composite materials.

With legislation and security making it ever more difficult to transport and display actual munitions, Lawson’s have started to produce a range of full scale weapons and ammunition for use at defence exhibitions and in presentations.

Recently completed for a US client, this 1:10 scale M1A1 MBT is typical of the high level of detail Lawsons’ incorporate into their exhibition standard models.
