Awesome! Really great contributions, Yaroslav! Some modelers have waited a long time for these minigun, accessories, figures and gun kits!

I'm really looking forward to your next new figure releases. One suggestion...could you take the next new figures out "of the desert" and make Arctic, jungle, SWAT police, diver, and other figures besides War in Iraq and Afghanistan figures? Thanks.

Hi Yaroslav
Your helicopter guns are realy looking great.
Do not forget we will need minimum HGU-56 helmets or heads for our sceneries

Yaroslav, your aircraft weapons look real nice.

I think a full AH/MH-60 crew and passengers would be a great seller for you. A few SF or Rangers fast roping would make for a great dio. They would also be good for the Trumpeter Chinook and Dragon Little Bird kits.

Chris.

Is there an alternative usage/mount of miniguns on other modern afvs except humvees? Are they used on any kind of gun trucks or other armored vehicles?

Really want to fit one (or more) of those mini guns to my CH-47D. Have done a search already, will these work in plain ol' vanilla 47Ds, or does it need to be an MH bird?

I do recall some company making an MH up-grade, but haven't seen any thing on the market as yet. Heres hoping.

Keep up the great work, looking forward to those 1/16 scale figures.

Kylie

as for SWAT figures, would take a whole bunch of em; looking at photos out of Boston, the current figures would be accurate painted in black/ blue Police colours.

My order just arrived ...took a little over a week to get to the US, not bad. The new Ma Deuce looks great with the rail and extended suppressor. The minigun is worlds ahead of any other kit on the market.
I checked out my friend's items as well, .50 cal links, water pouches, knee pads and a few other items. These look great in the bags as well.
Thanks, Yaroslav.

Yaroslav,

Will you make MK 46 and MK 48 SOCOM machine guns, or have you do so already for the MK 46?

I think about 48 scale, I have list of models and I try to prepare some probes soon. I dont have Mk46 and 48 now, probably in future

All you upcoming releases look great, Yaroslav! Any date as to when you will release them, and any date as to when you will release your new figures?

What kind and size will your new figures be? 120mm? 1/35? SOF or Marines? Thanks again!

Yaroslav, I just picked up a few more sets this weekend from Military Miniatures Warehouse, some for a planned project, some just because...

Your work is outstanding and yet we have critics needing to find fault with everything and demand more and more esoteric items. You'd think you were producing 1970's style Tamiya .50 calibers with the solid handle grips!

Keep the faith and keep up the good work.

I didn't know the US version has a seat for the gunner.
About it , I believe the gunner is hung on by cables but do you know how the cables are fixed to the inside of the helicopter ?

Hi Yaroslav,
not hunting for small mistakes, was only wondering with this angle, and looking better to the pictures I have, you are right with the scratches.
You have a great rendition of the M240H and I hope to see it and the other helo weapons in real soon (with a complete crew...)
