Dragon AH-6J kit's AMMO BELT!!!

QUOTE: Thank God they are 50Cal. Otherwise I would have made the madness to fill the ammo chute with these rounds!

LOL!!!! Eduard gives PE ammo belt for m-60s. It looks pritty bad by itself , but might look better inside the PE ammo chute I did not try it out yet but I will.

Thank God they are 50Cal. Otherwise I would have made the madness to fill the ammo chute with these rounds!

This topic came up some months ago. Here's what I did - I had a plastic track loop from a Tamiya M-3 halftrack kit in my spares box. I unlooped it, then cut down the length of the track, separating the two halves. The track is flexible and has small parallel grooves that look kinda like the ammo belts (close enough for my eye, anyway.)



(Yes, I know the seat belt is in the wrong spot....I fixed that after it was pointed out to me earlier....my bad.)

Avus,

I've heard that those kit belts are a pain in the hindquarters to get to work. I think when I get to building my pair of Killer Eggs, I'll look into ordering a few extra belts along with the UH-1N update set, as I have one of Panda's Hueys on the shelf as well.

Actually I was thinking about it. I don't remember where but somewhere I saw a company that makes rounds and links in 1/35 scale.
And I mean single rounds and single links that you have to combine to make a belt!
But then maybe I'd be too much of a hair splitter.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Avus I got my self the UH-1C Armament (photoetched)kit from Eduard. It also contains the 7.62 ammo belt for the minigun and since I didn't use it for the Huey I'll be using it for my AH-6J or MH-60L.

I ordered the same thing for myself!!! Looks good on photos....Avus, are you going to load the feedchute with rounds?

I'll be working on those belts before too long myself....
I've been thinking about manipulating them under a hair dryer. Has anyone tried that, or a similar method?

If you get too fed up with it, Cobra Company has rubber 7.62 ammo belts in theire UH-1N Weapons set that Chris will sell separately as well. Good luck, the plastic kit ones are a pain to say the least.
