I don't believe that the inquiry that was made about buying an MH-6J set from Cobra Company is being reflected properly. I recall someone from Australia asking if they could order the set through email. I don't accept email orders due to security risks. You can order through the website shopping cart which IS fully secure. The one and only caveat about shipping to Australia is that you do so at your own risk. Despite the belief that Australians have in the integrity of their postal system I can verify that as the loser in shipping to Australia all failure investigation led to the Australia Post door which was firmly shut and locked.

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove miniguns and Vulcans and everything Gatling.  Did you know that U.S Warships had hand-cranked Gatling cannons in the Spanish-American War?  I think they were about 76 mm.

Nice photo, intruder_bass, thanks for the comparison!  I know I'll be going with CC's sets the next time I want some miniguns...I thought I just got a bad casting from Legends, but it looks like I wasn't the only one to get bent barrels! 

I think Cobra will be getting a lot of my bonus pay in the near future...do they offer stock? At least then I can tell myself it's helping my investment.

A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

Actually I don't think that Cobra Company is not keen on shipping you what you would like to purchase.

Cobra Company states much more that "...shipping to Australia is at YOUR OWN RISK."

Check out the website and/or contact the owner for more information on that specific issue.

Thanks Andy and You to Gino,

It would be great to get onto a CC set but noone here in Australia deals with them ( well noone i know of )

And CC are'nt to keen on sending to me direct?

Anyway might have to stick with the ones in the AH-60L DAP kit

Thanks

Robert

The Legends M134 are closer to Vietnam era weapons.   To add to what Andy has pictured, the newer M134s have a flash suppressor on the end of the barrels and the mounts in the Academy MH-60G PaveHawk and L DAP kits are correct, not the Legends older frame mounts.

Newer M134 version:

Would it look right for this detail set to go on to the MRC 1/35 MH-60L?
