Movie star power! I love it!
Jot this one down for a movie prop, real or imagined, group build.

Finally got round to finishing this little tyke. Quite enjoyed building it to be honest.

Nicely done, Chris!

A couple of 6,000-rnd boxes hanging from the turret ring would get you about 4 minutes of firing time at 1,500-rpm for some two-gun action (8 minutes for alternate single-gun firing).*

[*: Halve that for more managable 3,000-round boxes.

Why am I seeing that with a Hotchkiss turret ? Maybe it's the camouflage ?

Nice one Chris

Nice one Chris

your seeing things my good Sir

It's a M3 early turret for sure and yep it looks weird cause its not got the gun mantlet on it ..that camo is also doing a pretty good jot too ..it's most effective

Chris thats a very cool little pocket of firepower matey ,,super neat

I have had an idea tho about your ammo supply issues ,,the sponsons on the hull's side which used to have the 30cal machine guns poking out ,,a perfect place to store more ammo and no i aint gonna get all techy about it either lol

Cheers everyone, I certainly enjoyed building it, and I will look into what boxes I have that are suitable to stick on it. I should have finished it a while ago, but I have been ramping up my blood pressure building the revell single seat typhoon, what an absolute dog of a kit it really is.
Cheers and happy new year to you all.

Nice one Chris!

If you were an insurgent trying to get past that, it would, as they say, put your personal space through a kinetic rapid-change process, causing you to radically re-evaluate your life and career choices...
