Model Forum / General / Models / December 20071/24 or 1/25 MGs, 20mm or 40mm to mount on a jeep/Humvee sorta thing?
I'm going to do a 'what-if' sorta urban assault vehicle in 1/24 or 1/25 (can't remember), and I need some decent noise makers for the roof gunner. Anyone know of anybody who makes stuff in this scale? Even a Ma Deuce would do in a pinch I suppose, but I'd like something meaner.

The number of kits with weapons done in 1/24-25 is close to nil, and the Model RR stuff in G gauge doesn't really offer anything much for it either. There are items now in 1/32, 1/18, 1/16 and larger but not a great selection in 1/24-25.

Haswgawa also has (separate kit) of the same jeep pulling a trailer that has a 30 caliber MG. As for a noise maker the Dollar Store used to have a toy pistol that made five different noises (machine gun, laser gun, bombing, etc.) Its a commn chip used in many toys as well as commercial (eg car) alarms. Tamiya (out of production) had four 1/25 GI figures one with a Thompson and another with a BAR. > As for a noise maker the Dollar Store used to have a toy pistol that > made five different noises (machine gun, laser gun, bombing, etc.) > Its a commn chip used in many toys as well as commercial (eg car) > alarms. > Oh, I like that...a car alarm that sounds like machine gun fire. Combine that with a rapidly flashing high intensity strobe inside the car, and that will make any would-be thief pee their pants. :-D Pat >I'm going to do a 'what-if' sorta urban assault vehicle in 1/24 or 1/25 >(can't remember), and I need some decent noise makers for the roof gunner. > Anyone know of anybody who makes stuff in this scale?

I don't know about availability though. http://www.dunnstoyandhobby.com/Revell_Monogram_TRUCK_SNAP_MILITRY_HUMVEE_1_25_p /rev851939.htm Regards, Ralph Thanks guys, I think the TOW missile is a brilliant solution |
