| Subject: | Re: Minigun on M151 |  |

JoMO or Concord SOJ shows a minigun mounted on an El Salvadoran M151. But the M151 is so drastically altered with extra treadplate platforms and fenders that it sure looks a lot different than the MUTT.
If anyone made a 1/35 pickup, you could try mounting the mini on that. I know the Navy uses miniguns on their Mark V Sea Shadow, but again, unfortunately no one makes a kit although the Pibber and LSSC might work.
Still, probably the best vehicle to mount the mini would be the Hobbyfan ROC rollbar Humvee. At least no one will scold you for not mounting MG dismounts since the rollbar Humvee is so open one can have MGs sticking out of the passenger windshield and side doors. Most gunners prefer the MK-19 however.
I think the Legends minigun kit is 7.62mm, not 5.56mm.
