ThudDriver Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 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.

skyhawk174 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) 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.

2qwik4u Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm pretty sure that Dragon still makes a quad .50 trailer kit. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yup, although DragonUSA has it on backorder right now. Link. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThudDriver Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
