Bravo 6, maker of excellent figures, now brings us a really nice looking M23 Doorgun Mount for Hueys. The M23 was the standard gunmount on Hueys from Vietnam until the early '90s.



Link to news story.

The news release says they are also working on a Vietnam helo crew set as well. I hope to see these items soon.

This is great news. Those M60's look amazing! If only they would also make some in 1/48 (with as much detail).

Gino,

Those M60Ds would look great on the turret of an M48A5.

Great Idea. I was just gathering parts to build an M48A5 today actually. I might have to get a couple sets of these when they come out.

I just grabbed the Dragon M48A3B and have a Tamiya M48 an Acadamy 48A5 and a Tamiya Divad plus 2 of the Verlindin M60/48 converson sets. I hope I can build a Bco 1/102 M48, mid 80s. Especially with those 60Ds.I did enjoy shooting the 60D from the TCs hatch. Do they have a price yet?
