Wanted: 1:72 .50cal gunpods

Ian the Kiwi Herder · March 08, 2009, 04:25:44 AM

Anybody got a pair of .50cal gunpods in 1:72. Package guns from a B-25 or B-26 would do also. For my second 'Trainers with Teeth/CoIn' GB project.

Thanks in advance, folks.

These would have been the package guns that were attached to the sides of the B-26 Marauder and B-25 Mitchell to increase the number of available forward firing weapons for strafing and anti-shipping missions.

I believe the Academy P-39Q has them - well it would have to as it's the defining feature of the 'Q'

I've had a look and I think I've every bit from that 109 bar the gun pods !

However I do have an Accademy P-39Q that will get built "sans" pods. Are 2 enough for your project ?
