Hey Yellow013 the kit dose not have the mini gun. If by chance you need one, I have an extra set your welcome to have. The kit comes with a seven-tube XM-158 rocket launcher
Nether does the Heavy Hog kit from Academy. It has the 24-tube XM-3 rocket launcher

Mother I beg to differ. I built the Huey Frog for a vet and there were mini guns in the kit. They are not in the directions but they are on the sprue. I had to guess how to put them together.

I guess You did. The Frog had them with the under seat ammo box as well. I couldn't find directions anyplace but the sprue had them. There were ammo belts as well.

quick! Go back to those stored kits and take the viynl ammo chutes out and put some armor-all onto them BEFORE they melt and destroy irreplacable parts like he windshields or melt a how in the fuselage sides... like mine did...
Armorall worked wonders on the DML rubber tires for the BTR and BRDM series as well.
-the survivors are stored in metal altoids cans-

Yep mine come with all the miniguns under the seat ammo box and all the different kinds of rockets.
I got the instructions off a member at FSM.
Comes up looking very good.
One thing though the decals are a little off the mark meaning there is a few things missing on them.
