These are some of the ones I was suggesting:

I know Verlinden did a set with four waist guns, but they must be OOP.

Thank you very much, gentlemen!

I know where I can find the Aires models, I think I'll buy them.

Here is a picture, to show you the twin 050 in the Revell box :

I have a PE set by White Ensign Models, with air cooled jackets, unfortunately instructions ask you to  to adjust them to the parts found in the box. Sorry, but the Revell parts for the .50 are so incorrect, I do not use them. With so small models, it would have been better to have a good resin or metal  shape to put the PE parts on.

Thank you,

Michel

Well, finally, I could do it with White Ensign Models PE parts and the Revell parts.  I had to find very fine wire, as a base for the barrel :

When I built it, Kennedy was still in office!

I just got a couple of their single .30 cals, and they're excellent.

Don't know if they have a dealer in the New World Colonies.

Cheers,

Holey dead post revival!!  The post was from 2006.  I am sure he has found them or given up on it by now.  Maybe look at the dates before responding to old posts.

Bad idea. A forum post isn't one-to-one it's one-to-many.  Odds are he's not the only one with this particular problem. 

Maybe if he looked at the dates other people building the same kit (me for example) wouldn't have found out about the Miniworld machine guns. Instead, because he didn't, I'm going to give them a try for my PT-105...
