Linus Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi 6paul6, At the moment, I think there aren't in the aftermarket. So I think that the best thing,to be build them ex new, with some nice photos. Good job guy. Cheers Linus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Paul, I think the ramp MG on the Chinook is a US M60 rather than a GPMG so if you going for accuracy you'll need to source one of those as well. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The Chinook does not have GMPGs but the M60 instead as this was supplied by Boing as part of the role fit. As mentioned above there is no aftermarket stuff for the Chinook, although you can get an M60, from Aeroclub if I remember, but the handles need to be modified. I have made a ramp fitting for a Chinook a few years ago, but I was lucky as I worked on them and could get the detail for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosequito Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi Paul I've been waiting for years for some decent british helo guns in 1/72. The only GPMG I've sourced are from a company called Aroclub. They are will need modifying for a modern version. As Jabba said the Chinook has an M60 on the ramp so look at some of the 1/72 Humvee modles for something, but again it will probably need modifying. Now for the good news! For Chinook door guns you can't go wrong with these beauties, http://www.armycast.cz/products4.html 1/72 mini guns. I got some of these and the quality is awesome. I highly recommend Armycast. Good luck Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ6 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Airwaves used to have a beautifully detailed resin GPMG in their range but it doesn't seem to be in production at the moment. I hope Hannants re-release it at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi 6paul6, I have a good new for you, I had see a item for M134 mini gun with 6 barrell in 1/72 scale from ARMORY, I think these items (in catalugue there are 2 sets) are very nice , and a good base for starting with your project. Good luck Linus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitor Sousa Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) The Armycast resins are good For the M3M of the Lynx I've used a few parts of the Eduard 50cal and a lot of scraps from photoecth and came up with this Edited May 4, 2013 by Vitor Sousa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just for my two penneth- are there any suitable machine guns in the Italeri helicopter kits such as their Blackhawk and Seahawk? I had quite a few included in their Sioux kit which came in handy for other projects but obviously they are the wrong type for a modern Chinook.

Murph Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 You might want to check 1/72 scale armor kits also. Regards, Murph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
