I am planning on converting a 1/35 CH-47A into an ACH-47 gunship. I have just about everything I need except for the .50cal ammo cans. From all the pics I have found on the interweb, which are not many, the cans that feed the 5 .50cals around the bird are a lot larger than the normal can. In particular, the 2 on the rear ramp are much larger.


From http://replicainscale.blogspot.com

From the best that I can tell, these same size cans feed the other four M2s that are in the front doors and rear windows on the left and right of the aircraft. There appear to be two that feed into each of the other four guns as well.

Are these possibly 20mm cans re-purposed to hold .50cal ammo?

Any help identifying these would be greatly appreciated.
