Need a 1/35 WW2 US Army .50 cal MG

[Joe C-P]

Hi peoples,

I gave away most of my armor at a recent swap meet, keeping just two models from my well-spent youth, one real, one what-if.
However, I also gave away the one part I needed to finish restoring my 1/35 Priest SPG - the .50cal mg for the pulpit.
Does anyone have one to spare?

Merci d'avance!

Assuming it's just the .50cal you need, I have several, where does it need to go?

Much thanks to Old Wombat, I now have an M2 that is better detailed than the rest of the 1970s era kit I built in the 1970s.

Joe one set ya might want to look out for is Academys US Machine gun set.
A very nice weapons set even though I do replace the barrels with brass ones .
It's also got the AN.M2 aircraft. 50 with the fully cooled barrel..one which could've been "borrowed" from the AF as these had a much higher rate of fire (1000rpm) over the normal M2HB .50 (550 to 650 rpm) .
You can find a quite famous pic of a SAS jeep with a AN.M2 mounted on it 😉

He basically has, one of the ones he got was a me-built version (unpainted) of the centre-top mg;

Oh I know  which one Guy me ol mate 😏 😉
I've had the pleasure quite a few times ..it's now called the M3 .50 cal .
1025 rpm is alot of fun 😃

Hi Wardukw,

I did have that set, but as I no longer build armor I'd given it away, along with most of my 1/35, keeping just two for nostalgia.
Only later did I find the MG for my M7 Priest was missing its front half.  Thanks to Guy it is once again complete.

Just happy I could help out, mate!
