hey guys, this is my first post to the forums and im realtively new to modeling… done a few cars and what not. im looking to take on the 1/24th scale huey from revell/monogram, and i would like to add some door mounted m60’s. i cant seem to find any though, if anyone could point me in the right direction for the m60’s or anything else that you think might be helpful i would really appreciate it
Hey Lerch “You rang!?” [:D]
Firstly, welcome to the board(s).
I’m not sure where you would be able to find a set of M-60’s in that scale. But as the old saying goes, “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”, so you may even think about scratch-building them.
There may be some 1/24 scale armor models out there that may include the M-60, so you could try the Armor boards and ask there. They would have alot more use for M-60’s than us rotor-heads.
Hey Frank…could the remote M-60 that come with the kit be modified to work?
hey guys… thx for your input… ill try the armor guys!!!
on a side note… have you guys heard anything about the 1/24th scale revell model, is it pretty good, accurate, etc? should i maybe drop to a smaller scale?
If you haven’t bought the 1/24 version, I would opt for one of the Academy 1/35 models. The 24th version is pretty crude, it is a blown up 1/48 scale kit to make it. The Academy Frog version comes with a full compliment of weapons to choose from. You also have a whole bunch of stuff you can add from any 1/35 accessory set, figures, and armor kits. They also include a full 4-man crew with M60s. Exellent kits with lots of detail and great molds, I highly recommend them.
i may do that, although i would like to have a really large version when finished i want to stay as accurate and as detailed as possible.
