Hello
Did some work yesterday on my Academy 1/35 UH-1C, mostly building some of the interior and replacing the stock rather poor M134's with some slightly better resin ones by Legend, and today I came across a photo that I've never seen before of the M134's side on (on a RAAF UH-1H),
And that got me thinking...
...how do the M134's articulate?
I ask because I am thinking of using small magnets to put them on (for one thing I can't work out how the M134's attach to the pylons - all I can see is they glue straight onto the side of the square-ish parts on the top of the "cradle" thingy part that attaches to the M134?) - but would using magnets look odd (because it'll mean I can position the guns up/down/left/right) if the M134's can't actually rotate up and down or left/right?
Might also be a bit out of scale but I'll check that when I come to it.
That pic also showed me how the "cradle" thingy part attaches to the gun, I've attached my M134's to that part incorrectly, that part is too far back, but that's another story...
