The AGS17 grenade launcher might be useful to  ;D

As for the machine guns..it'll be a MG3 foe sure..the main reason will be the ammo..the MG3 is 7.62mm nato like the FN MAG and M240 B ..the MG42 is 7.92mm and getting that ammo is a mission even in a non war zone let alone in one .
The barrels would also be a impossible item to find too.

And with an MG-42 you'll be needing nearly as many barrels as bullets.
Yep..with a normal rate of 1200 rpm barrels don't last long if your ripping ..thankfully it takes less than 20 seconds to change the barrel but only if you have the glove..gotta have the glove  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Who doesn't enjoy the feeling or smell of searing flesh on a hot MG barrel?

Oh also known to me as well  Scooter mate 😆
Especially when out on the range when it's damn near a free fire day ...so many rounds down range   ;D
Man those days are really missed..used to love our as our RSM called it..enemy fun day  :wacko:
That's when we'd teach other troops the use of enemies weapons ..I loved showing em how good the PKM was..a very nicely balanced weapon to shoot from a static position 👌
It's even more fun when there's zero ammo restrictions  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

When I was at the Big H on Friday they had LOADS of them on the shelves, and the smoother, multi-seated version too, not the more familiar recce one with a Bv-141 style canopy.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Yup, but this is the dedicated ground attack version.

That IS the one they had loads of, with a very small, armoured and narrowed cockpit section.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Oh ? Well when I looked it was still on Backorder  :unsure:

And still is https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ICM72290?result-token=wwkcV - strange  :unsure:

The Wooksta!

There was a resin conversion from RS to do it using the Airfix kit as a donor and IIRC MPM did one too.

That's bizarre, there were ZILLIONS of them on the shelves!  :-\

Unless someone else put one out as well, and those were the ones I saw?

Could be they have the stock, but haven't updated it online yet?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
