Hello,
I'm looking for black hawk M-134 minigun pictures, particularly where the flexible ammo tubes (or whatever they are called) go and the ammo box.

Thanks,
Marek

Hey Marek not sure which 60 your after...MH, UH, or HH. Anyhow there are some great walkarounds that can be found at Prime Portal which is ran by Don Busack .

HH-60H check out pages 3,4 and 5 for the minigun w/ feed chute.

I do have some file of minigun set up's...just let me know which Hawk your doing and I'll dig some up.

Joe,
I'm trying to detail an Italeri MH-60K SOA in 1/48 scale, and add miniguns to it, would that be correct?

Ya, the MH-60K uses miniguns.

Here is the AF HH-60 that was at an airshow in Destin in 04. The AF has their ammo boxes on the outside but I have some good shots of the gun. The resolution is kinda bad I was using a camcorder as a camera for it.

Joe there are a few shots of the interior mostly the fast rope bar that may come in handy for your build in my album on photobucket. http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh114/rotordan/hh-60/

Great pictures. Just be advised that the US Army doesn't use the external mounts and ammo boxes though. A US Army MH-60K has the miniguns in the gunners' windows with internal ammo boxes, either the large central one as in most kits, or individual boxes inside below the windows.
