MH-60L DAP progress pics
Posted by HeavyArty on Wednesday, February 9, 2005 7:10 PM
Here are a few shots of my MH-60L DAP in progress. So far I have the cabin and cockpit just about done. Just need to add crew gear and a few little items. I used the Cobra Company MH/HH-60 update set for the great center console and gunners consoles in the rear and the CC M230 25mm 30mm cannon is going on the starboard side ESS wing. The hardware on the roof is the control boxes for the M230 and a scratch-built Fast Rope rig. Enjoy.






More to follow as it goes along.

WOW! Great work! What is the large gray "box" in the right aft cabin door? Looking forward to seeing the finished bird!

Clear Left!

The box is the ammo box for the 25mm 30mm M230 cannon that will go on the starboard ESS wing. looks like this on the actual bird.

Gino,

Is that a smaller cousin of the 30mm used on the Apaches?

It actually is a 30mm, it looks the same as the one on the Apache now that I look more closely.

Here are specs on it:

Thanks for the correction.

Yep, it is the same M230 chain gun that is used on the Apache. I'd imagine the aircrew would end up with quite the headache with both miniguns firing that close to their heads!
