1/24 scale M60 machine guns

Hello!

when looking for the M60D (the helicopter flex-mount version), shapeways came up with these:

Sometimes it works to write people who have a model similar to what you want and asking them to rescale it a little - in your case rescaling from 1:35 to 1:24 might just do the job and as you see some of them are much cheaper than 300$ - what a price tag that is!

Hope it helps, have a nice day

It was specifically "aimed" at those doing a 1/24 scale helicopter, and I was writing to them to ask if they would have 1/24 scale spade grips/firing grips, as well as the bipod being folded up along the barrel as possible versions. I see they do have what I'm looking for, but in a complete subsystem, rather than single weapons and it's $310.00 dollars, which is way more than the cost of the model and paint. I'm trying to do a specific a/c from the battle of Ia Drang. It won't be a "slick" as the 1/24 scale Huey model available (the Rambo helicopter) is a UH-1B. Most of the helicopters in that battle were UH-1D's, but there were a few UH-1B gunships and support aircraft.

Hello!

It's a pity you didn't include a link...

And I think Saco makes 1:1 M60s. But sometimes when you're looking for weird stuff in an usual scale or stuff in weird scale shapeways can be your only option:

Another thing is - who needs 1:24 weapons? OK, there are some auto modellers who do, like for a police cruiser (most likely not M60 though). Then there's the 1:24 Huey - but still I imagine that the market for such stuff is tiny. Most likely perfect for 3D print on demand.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day
