You need at least 3 .30 or .50 cal miniguns in the "door" and ramp posistions.  That would complement the others quite well.

I had wanted to make Spectre Stallion, but with the paint sceme I want to use, it will look better slick on the fuselage. Believe me, one day I'll make the SCH-53 reality.

Just a quick photo of the shear size of the beast on my workbench and the beginning of the black out. :D

I'm still experimenting with the weapons pods. I think I'm getting close to what I want. ;D

That's looking great Eddie!

I was looking at what your doing for the weapons mount on the sponson.

If you don't mind the suggestion, I think it might look even better with an extra supporting strut on either side and a good amount of exposed plumbing.

Here's some pics of the weapons mount of a Mil Mi-171 Hip to show you what I mean:







A bit of an unfinished crudeness built in adds to the overall brutal looks of the beast I figure. :thumbsup:
