Contemporary american fighter armament diorama 1:33

[Sidewinder81777]

This was just something i wanted to do as a little project (and yes I know with the retirement of the tomcat nothing currently totes phoenixes but I just couldnt leave the big guy out). The AIM-9 and AIM-7 are by Marco Hotling The AIM-120 is by CMDRTED with the slight modification of replacing the petalled nosecone with a sectional one, and the AIM-54 is by Rene Pinos. The M-61 vulcan cannon is something I whipped up myself although I'm going to have to scale it up a little and rebuild (somehow came out 1:46 :( )
So now just have to rebuild the cannon and come up with a base for the whole thing and mount it up.

A nice looking weapon set, Sidewinder 81777.
You've done a nice job with it.

The M61 minigun looks nice, 1:46 or not.

Kind and Respectful Regards my friend, Uyraell.

[Wyvern]

Great-looking set, Josh!

And here's the cannon rescaled and rebuilt.

[Uyraell]

That is a very nice M61 indeed , Josh.

Cleanly built, and very finely executed.

Kind and Respectful Regards Josh, Uyraell.

[Sidewinder81777]

Thank you :D I think Im debating if I should do an ammo drum and feed belt as part of the dio or leave the gun naked

[ThunderChild]

Great models SW! Love the cannon!

[Uyraell]

Do a second one as "full set" with ammodrum and feedtrough, ammo represented by suitably coloured flat strip within the trough itself.
Just a respectfully offered suggestion.

The concept I had was, that either as a finished "minimodel" or as part of a diorama (say replacing the cannon and drum in an F16), you'd have a mighty fine M61 and ancillaries.

Kind and Respectful Regards Josh my friend, Uyraell.

I may just do that Uyraell but I'd want to start over from scratch and do a bigger much more detailed cannon. Anyway got a base made and everything mounted up :D

[mchale]

Wow that's a lot of missiles nice job
