flyingdragons75 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I have an old ESCI UH-1D kit and am going to build a VN slick. My dilemma is that the M-60's don't come with it and I understand that Cobra Company made them but unfortunately, CC is out of business . Need help to get a pair. Thank you!

Whiskey Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Check out lone star models, they bought the molds and are producing Cobra Company’s stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChesshireCat Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 if you modeling a specific Slick, get a good look at the door guns. There were two different styles and maybe three or four mounts counting the elastic cord. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There were two different styles and maybe three or four mounts counting the elastic cord. gary As far as styles go, the only difference I ever saw was that some gunner's took off the bipod, presumably to save some weight. Given that you changed out barrels pretty quickly on the 60, you could easily have the bipod (which was attached to the barrel) reappear quickly. I know that later in the war, gunners used a 20mm ammo can instead of the standard can that came with the system. This effectively doubled the ammo capacity. Cobra used to make a nice 35th scale representation of this rig. Nothing in 48th, as noted above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I was wrong. It was AIRES set 4678. I knew I reviewed them. Here is a link to the review: https://web.ipmsusa3.org/content/m-60-762mm-machine-gun Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily, an ARC member has offered me his spare. Thanks for all the help, guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
