Well gents, that's it for me and my posting.  I could be here for days on end, and not get anything I want to do done.  I hope this helps, and lets talk more on the Group build.  I can post some on the congo, 1960-1965, a few on Biafra, and on the Portugese in their wars in Africa.  Let me know.

So build another technical! 

Count me in on this one friends.

I usually only jump online on the weekends so, I will look through all the links Outlands and Rudi posted and maybe come up with an idea or two. I am attracted to the chalenge and level of difficulty of this GB. Should be VERY interesting.

1/35 scale FN FAL's.  I can't find the Italeri modern wpn's set any where, and I need lots of them.  I mean lots!  Like 20+.  Anybody have any ideas on where I can get some on the cheap?  I really need these for my modeling projects.  Any help would be great.

I just looked at a box of modern weapons that had them in it while ago. Think it's from Dragon. I also noticed that it had an RPD and three or four different machine guns too. But the RPD was all I was interested in at the time. Also needed to find a twelve gauge shotgun and an M14 rifle, but the kit lacked these. Should you need more data I'll drop by and get the kit numbers for you.

Gary

PLEASEpleasepleaseplease do post up the kit info on that!

Couple of sources on the M14 for you - Academy's Israeli Defense Forces kit and Dragon's US Snipers set.  Don't know of any other sources for them, sorry. 

will be heading up to my LHS in about thirty minutes, so hang on.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand???

Perhaps he met a fabulously beautiful and rich woman looking for a modeler and ran away with her, totally forgetting us poor slobs?

Wow - should we call out CSAR birds??

That would be classified as a SCLRH that OALS. Not sure there was a nomenclature number affixed to the item yet, BUT I was there first.

I just realized that my answer to the question never was posted (maybe I was temporarly insane or even kidnaped by aliens). Seriously the kit number is 3806 from Dragon, and much to my dismay it didn't have the FN that I swore it did. But it has about everything else in full tilt weapons that a guy might be looking for.

     One last thing with the full auto machineguns and third worls countrys. The most popular machine gun and the most sought after is still the MG 42, but in 7.62 x 51. That gun is still in production, in more than one country. So all of you probably got a couple in your stash.

Isnt the 7.62mmx51mm chambered MG-42 the MG-3? I know they look practicaly identical. And it shoots oh so nicely... And I always root for the hunters in "Bambi"

You may well be right about that, I'm not sure. I did get the chance to shoot one labled MG42 that some guys from Thailand were using back in the summer of 68. I remember well that it weighed a lot less than the hog I was humping at the time. They were using a bag to hold the belted ammo. I managed to blast about 500 rounds thru it at the low rpm setting as well as the high rpm setting. It shot very well off hand (try that with an M60), but the best thing about it was the barrel change out. Takes about twenty seconds!!! And you don't have to remove the belt! I liked it even better than our extremely customized RPD's.

Hey Squeakie, you weren't probed were you? (Aliens)  It's a bad thing if you were.

well after some after thought I'm kinda now thinking that the "SCLRH that OALS" might have well been an Alien Agent! I was left with a horrible headache after being interrogated for at least a complete night. They kept handing me these drinks to try and try. Also noticed that they had a really good cigar selection, but wouldn't share.
