Hey Lerch "You rang!?" Big Smile [:D]

Firstly, welcome to the board(s).

I'm not sure where you would be able to find a set of M-60's in that scale. But as the old saying goes, "Necessity is the mother of all inventions", so you may even think about scratch-building them.

There may be some 1/24 scale armor models out there that may include the M-60, so you could try the Armor boards and ask there. They would have alot more use for M-60's than us rotor-heads.

Hey Frank.......could the remote M-60 that come with the kit be modified to work?

If you haven't bought the 1/24 version, I would opt for one of the Academy 1/35 models. The 24th version is pretty crude, it is a blown up 1/48 scale kit to make it. The Academy Frog version comes with a full compliment of weapons to choose from. You also have a whole bunch of stuff you can add from any 1/35 accessory set, figures, and armor kits. They also include a full 4-man crew with M60s. Exellent kits with lots of detail and great molds, I highly recommend them.
