joachim Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hello, I'm looking for M60D guns in 1/72 (prefer with mount but without is also ok) I need 5. Are there aftermarket available? or does someone have some leftovers? thanks for your help and time. cheers, Joachim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I ask the same question of yours, i once had a couple of them that came with a Blackhawk, dont remember the brand... Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 i once had a couple of them that came with a Blackhawk, dont remember the brand... Aren't there two in the Hasegawa UH-60 kit? Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joachim Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 hi, thanks for reply. normaly i only make kits with Ukrainian AF theme. Now i like to built something else. I want to make replica of Chinook i flew with in Afghanistan last summer. And a Cougar i flew with 2 years ago, also in Afghanistan. That's why i need 5 off them. It's a pitty to buy 3 complete kits for only the guns :lol: So i hope someone has some spare and like to sell or swap. cheers, Joachim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Do you have any chance to buy something of Roco Minitank? Those kits usually come with good M60s (even when they´re in 1/87 scale, they look perfect in 1/72). Best would be to get a MG-set, they come with about half a dozen M2s and M60s that´ll do just fine. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Murph Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Aeroclub set #024 offered them in white metal, but they are out of production. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Joachim, I think our Cougars and Chinooks use the FN Mag rather than the M60. Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arkhunter2002 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Those are the M-240D's (FN-MAG).... M-240D M-60D HTH, Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joachim Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 And these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joachim Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Those are the M-240D's (FN-MAG)....M-240D M-60D HTH, Austin Hi Austin and Koen, Great! are there 1/72 versions of these????? THANKS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arkhunter2002 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Same. If you are having trouble telling the two apart, look at the front post sight... That's about the easiest way to tell the difference between the 60D & 240D edit: There are white metal that are decent, but probably sold out (aeroclub set). I'm not sure if where else you could source them. Maybe dragon's humvees? HTH, Austin Edited January 13, 2011 by arkhunter2002 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy96 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) They're not M240D, but a variant of the FN MAG-58, from which the M240 series is also derived. The sighting system and muzzle devices are different on the airborne versions of the MAG-58M supplied to the Dutch and French militaries (among others). You can see some pictures of these variants on FN Herstal's website here. I think the British might still be using the M60 on their Chinooks. This picture of an RAF Chinook with an M60 at the ramp is dated 2006. I believe the Dutch also use FN's ramp mount, while the US use the old M41 mount adapted for the M240 series (M240D now being replaced with the M240H also). I'm not sure what window mounts they use, but I'm pretty sure the US is also still using the old M24 window mounts, again adapted for the M240D/H.

Jabba62 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think the British might still be using the M60 on their Chinooks. Yes they do. I adapted some of Aeroclubs M60s when I made my CHinok from Op Telic of 2003. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joachim Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 thanks to you all for help and info! I just bought 2 of these; http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http:/...=1t:429,r:8,s:0 hope this is a good starting point cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don´t know who bought all that aeroclub MGs, since mine looked like **** when I bought them... For M240s, try to get hold of the Dragon Humvees (2 in a box). They are very nice detailed. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
