.50 cals (XM-218) for 1/48 CH-46E
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, September 5, 2004 3:10 PM
Just a note when putting the guns on the Battle Phrog; the .50 cal is the XM-218 and it's a little different from the normal M2. For the kit, adding a small flash suppressor will bring you up to part. Smile [:)]

This is also the same weapon used on Marine Hueys and CH-53D/Es, as well as some Navy H-60s (they also use the M-60 and M240 series).

Try this link as a reference.

It's not the best, but it should help.

Also for reference, this is what some CH-53Es are using as a ramp weapon...the M3M .50 cal. May replace the XM-218, but currently only used (Marine Corps wise) on CH-53E rear ramps.
