Tamiya M-16 quad .50 cal turret


Recommended Posts

Gang,

First time here in Armor land.

Looking for help rebuilding a diorama that belongs to my 92 year old Dad who served in the 79th Div/463AA Battalion.

Does/did anyone make an aftermarket quad .50 cal mounted turret ?

The original diorama was based on a towed 4 wheel M14 2 ton trailer by ADV but the turret unit is trashed and that's what I'm trying to rebuild.

I'm mainly an aircraft guy, so this is uncharted waters I'm afraid.

I hate to buy a Tamiya M-16 kit just for the turret.

ANY help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Frank

If memory serves me correctly, Kirin had produced one on a trailer in 1/35th many years ago. There was also one made by Legend I think? Kirin went out of business years ago but may be available on ebay. Not sure on the Legend one.

Chris & Dave,

Thank you both for the intel. I'll have to source one of those options and scab the replacement turret onto the ADV trailer.

THANK you both..

It looks like I can indeed save that diorama after all.

OUTSTANDING !!

Cheers to you both

Frank
