MatthewW Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 We are looking at doing a weapons set with: 7 and 19 shot hydra pods GAU 19 Hellfire launch rail Hellfire II DAGR pod Mk 44 torpedo These should cover all the variants we want to make. If anyone has detailed pics of the GAU 19 we could sure use them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone has detailed pics of the GAU 19 we could sure use them. Mk 44 Torpedo?? Looks like the 160th is branching out into new fields! Is DAGR operational on the Littlebird? What about the miniguns? Better to just purchase from Live Resin or will they be included? What is the "standard" weapons fit on the Mike-model Littlebirds these days? Mostly flying with 2 x 7-shot rocket pods and 7.62mm miniguns or has it evolved? Sorry for all the questions :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MatthewW Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 The plan is to do: MH-6M, AH-6M, AH-6i and 500MD ASW so we need all those weapons. Im thinking no need to reinvent the wheel so will suggest people look to Live Resin for the Miniguns. Not sure of current typical loadouts ... anyone have any ideas?

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Two miniguns and two seven shot pods are the 'typical' load. I've seen 19 shot pods and an external fuel tank on the belly. But which version from Live Resin will give us the proper interior items and guns? Or are they doing an aircraft specific item? Speaking of which, that is what they are doing for the MH-47E for those who oredered that. Don't hijack this thread. Use the MH-47E thread if you want to respond to this part of the post.

JimmyBB Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just a quick one.Where the 6th main rotor blade coming from?Is it going to come with the update or is another kit needed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MatthewW Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 The Dragon AH-6J kit actually has 6 blades in the kit so we only needed to make a new hub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MatthewW Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 The masters are all hand made and moulds for resin casting have been taken from those. The test casts and test build are all in white resin however the kits for sale will be from grey resin as its a bit easier to work with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
