Does anyone do a correct GAU-21 and mount? I recently picked up Academy MH-60S and wanted to model it like this one.


I've picked up Live Resins M240H and mounts for the window gunners, but the kit GAU-21 and mount is not accurate based on the images I've seen.

Thanks

I can't see any pic, but I am assuming you mean like this:



I used the Cobra Company MH-60S Detail Set on my MH-60S build and it includes the proper GAU-21 door mounts. Unfortunately, CC has gone out of business. Lone Star Models bought the CC masters and stock and hopefully will start offering them soon.

Hi Gino, thank you for the link to your build. I was planning on building the same bird for HSC9 as you with the 240's and Gau-21's in the door.

Maybe I will build it sans GAU-21's as it seems from google that 240s seem to be the more common load out.

I've been bugging Yaroslav at Live Resin for the last 3 years and a half to finally release the version in the photo included. When he answers, it's for next month. I like him a lot, great service, great prices. But if I look only at this promise, well, I'm disappointed



[EDIT] we are December 6th 2017, Yaroslav is releasing the GAU-21 that is in the photo linked up here.

Thank you Yaroslav ;-)
