The Hind gun looks really nice.
I'm still hoping for a 1/32 door mounted GPMG to fit to my Puma.

Do you have any more/better pics of the mount? It shouldn't be too hard to scratch and add a 1/35 L7A2 GPMG to it. From what I can gather, it looks like it is just a swing out pintle arm mounted just forward of the side cabin door.

Thanks Gino! That one will be helpful. I have a couple of GPMG's in my spares from a Challenger 2 so I might be able to build something. I wonder if the mounts from Tamiya's SAS Land Rover could be adapted too?

Hi Gino,
Am I right in thinking I can use the masters M230 barrel to replace the Cobra Company barrel on their Blackhawk DAP update ?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy. Yes, the Masters M230 barrel set could be used w/the Cobra Company M230 DAP rig as well. It should look really nice on it.
