Hey Guys, just wondering if anyone can help. I am about to start on the Tamiya M-1025 with the Legends M-1114 upgrade. I am going to fit it with the Mk-19 ( I got the Lionmarc barrel ) however I am not real impressed with the molding for the ammo cradle or the ammo liner with belt. I would like to leave the cradle empty on the finished kit but to do so I will need to scratch build it. I was wondering if anyone has any referance pics of the cradle that I could use for visual referance? Thanks in advance.

Here is a link that may help:

Mounts used in the above images with the tripods are identical to mounts used for vehicle use as well.

Thanks guys, the PE set will be very helpful, save me trying to scratch it out of a coke can. Cheers.
