Hi. I was wondering if the M2 .50 cals on the A1-H Skyraider look like a normal infantry/armor mounted M2. This is beacuse I am looking to replace the ones that came in my Tamiya kit because they don't look very convincing. However, I cannot find a set of M2s specifically for the Skyraider so I would just but any old set and use those.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrew

Probably don't look like .50s' because they were 20 mm (0.79 in) M2 cannons.

Ok thanks. Is there a company that makes brass/aluminum ones?
Thanks

Unfortunately I can't help with pointers on aftermarket, but here's two good photos showing the cannon barrel, in case you have to or choose to make them youself -->

They don't look that hard to fashion from metal tubing or syringe needles though.

Edit: Oh, what scale are we talking about? At least Aires seems to make resin Hispano 20mm cannons in both 1:72 (#7101) and 1:48 (4182), but they look like to be of a slightly different variant than on the Skyraider.

2nd edit: I did another search for just "cannon" on Aires' website, and found Colt mk.12 20mm cannons in 1:48 (#4181). The variant is a different one, but the barrels look closer to those on the A-1 pics: -pic-
