Hey guys,

Late last night I entered my MH-53J desert scheme into the Gulf War GB, and I need a few parts for my build. If any one has two 1/72 minigun(they can be from an MH-47), at least one .50cal&,mount for the tail ramp,a search litght and mount from the Revell kit, and the laser deflector looking things that are above the fuel tanks on the pave low. I have a few things I could give you for them. Thank you very very much.

Any and all help is apreciated!

Well I wish I could see the pics. The server over here (deployed) will not allow pics to be viewed. Bummer. And in Desert Storm the most common configuration for weapons was .50s all the way around. They are more reliable in dust than the Minis (which do fine too, but just to be certain they used .50s).

Cheers from the other side of the world

Hello Matt,

I am guessing you are deployed, if so thanks for serving your country! When you get back, if you are gone I will give you all the pics that I have found. The tail number is 69-5789. Thanks again.

Jake

Oh ya, still looking for those parts guys! Any help would be much appreciated.

F***, IE crashed after a longer answer....

Short one:

Miniguns: Don´t you have several AC-130s? Rob the U-version, it doesn´t need 7.62mm Miniguns.

0.50s: Ask you local hobby shop for Roco Minitank Set 442

Alternative: Dragon Humvees 0.50s (two per kit, be sure to get a kit that contains them, ask me if you need more info)

For my Pave Low, I modified the miniguns included with the Italeri/Revell kit. For the .50 cal I used a modified Hase B-25 one.

Will do, know instead of one it sounds like I need three according to what Matt said. So I will be looking for pics on the mount that -53's use for the two windows on the inside. I really like the dragon .50cals but there will be some sratch involved. Well thanks again guys.
