Hey I am lookign for some ideas on how to make miniguns in 1/72 scale for some of my future helo projects. Some of my kits come with them so I have some ideas using them as a refernce. I haven’t seen any AM kits out there. Any ideas are greatly welcome.

Found this thread from a few years ago. Not sure if it will of any help now, but worth a shot.

EDIT: just realised the areo club website is no more. But you might be able to find their guns on e-bay.
Thanks Bish.
I guess aeroclub is out of business and has been for about a year. I did happen to find some on the Armycast M&m site. They are in chzechoslovakia so I am sure it will take some time to get here. They have a couple other items that I like and will probably order everythin at once. Their mini-guns look pretty good. I really only need it for my MH-60K bird. My 53s come with them as does my SOA Chinook. thanks again.

Glad you managed to find some. Ye, when i looked at the site, i got the impression it was temporary, but that was march last year. I just checked Hannants and all their Aeroclub items are Limited Availability, no miniguns though. Guessed they just packed it in.
In case anyone might stumble on this thread: I recieved my Mini-guns today! WOW!!! Very nice resin casting. I ended up buying 2 sets for some future builds. I also picked up the HH-60G Pavehawk and HH-60H Update sets. All arrived fast and intact despite being shipped from Eastern EU (Chzech). I would highly recommend using these guys if you build in 1/72 scale and need some nice resin pieces.
Glad you managed to get some, and they didn’t seem to take to long.
There are a few of these small companies that deal in 72nd items, they are just hard to find. I get WW2 Aircraft dio accessories from a small company in the UK that i have not seen anyone else mention. Could do with some sort of data base to list these small companies.
