Somebody know what kind of magazine use the DAP´s miniguns?, a big ammo canister (Pave hawk style) or a Ammo cans (Standard MH-60 “L”) ? Thanks!!!
Standard MH-60L ammo cans.
Dependes what you mean by “Standard MH-60L ammo cans.” Most MH-60Ls have the centerline ammo box like an MH-60G as in the Academy kit. Some use 40mm ammo cans at each crew chief station with ammo feed motors on them. It is really up to unit SOP and crew preferance.
I stand corrected.
Thanks a lot off!!! your are right! Is hard to find a “standar” because these Hakw are almost “Customizer” keep my hand works!
Wow! I wasn’t expecting to see this discussion still active like this! I had another question. I’m planning on doing a nightstalker and the decals that came with the kit are all yellow. What color would be appropriate for showing a bird that’s been in commission for a while? Slightly faded from black, right? And as for the markings, where would I find replacements for them? I’ve asked around at my hobby store and they don’t know where I’d find be able to find markings that say “UNITED STATES ARMY” in black or OD. Can anyone help? PLEASE?
The only company that I know to do these decals (OD) are Cobra company, in tree diferent scale 1/72, 1/48 and 1/35 the decals are only number a tail boom stencil, , Aztec decals in Mexico made for 1/48 and 1/72 but gray, decals are in a big sheet (interior and exterior) asked for Aldo Flores!
As stated above, Cobra Company is the only place you can get the correct OD decals for them, or make them yourself, as I did on mine. Good luck.
Here are a few recent pictures of MH-60K’s that show what you’re looking for.
Empeter,

Great pictures!!!
I search a “mach color” to paint a MH “L” “Black”, if you made a weathering or a washer with oils or acrilic paint must be paint a “little gray” to show the contrast betwen faded color and revetmens, I try with Nato Black with a bit of black and OD (Tamiya), I someone have a sugestion? I have Model Master Army helo drab too but I prefer acrilics

On my MH-60L DAP and MH-6J Littlebird, I used flat black for the base color, then drybrushed with gunship gray, then with flat black again. You can weather with dirt and dust from there. You can see them both here. Helo Drab Green is not correct for a 160th SOAR helo. They are all flat black with OD Green markings.
Gino, Your past post about MH-60 “L” Sepent Gothic" (June) and recently the posts about MH-60 K are a really good help to my project!, Gino, Do you have some pictures of DAP? or a MH-60 “L” S64? (Somalia), Might you send to my Email adress?
