A little curious about Nighthawk and Firefly Huey's

You might want to check out 1/72nd armor for a Xenon searchlight(check M-48's and M-60's for it), all the others you may have to scratch build.

I standard M-60 door gun would be opposite the .50

John,

  Check this thread out:

That should help out a lot.

 Hi Grandadjohn , thank's for the tip on checking out what the Armor kits have to offer in the way of lights and armament

I dug out my tiny stash of Armor kits and took a peek inside each kit

AS you can see the Revell M-48 kit has a hexangle looking box which is suppose to represent a large spotlight .

The Academy MII26 Stryker has a really cool Machine gun/Lighting scope but I'm not sure if this looks to modern for a Vietnam era Huey Nighthawk ???

Thank's also Ray for the link on the Nighthawks and Firefly Huey's , There are some really great pic's you and others have posted , all that info will certainly help

I never thought to look at the 'links to Huey threads' , as usual the most obvious place to look first goes right over my head ; Thank goodness your around to keep me on the straight and narrow  

                                 Kind regards John

The M48 light may not be perfect, but it looks sufficiently like this 2/20th ARA bird to me.  The photo is from the Army Aviation Museum arhives.
