I am getting set to tackle the Pro-Art conversion and I have a question on the armamnet pictured on the box photo. The set gives you a 50 cal and the door mounted MG, but not the rear mount MG pictured. I would like to add that one myself but I can't tell exactly what it is (I am no expert at modern armament).
Can anyone help with an ID and possible source for me to find said MG?
Thanks,
Chris

Mcdurd, appears to be an M240. I believe you can find them in the DML weapons set. Don't be afraid to use soviet style weapons either. I saw on more than one occassion where some of our CIA (Christians in Action :-) ) brethren were using RPD's, and RPK's on these vehicle. Hope this helps. "Q"

The rear mounted MG on the box art is an M240B 7.62mm Light MG. It is the US version of the FN MAG or european designation L7A2. It can be found in the DML Modern US Marines set (#3027) or the DML Modern Machine Gun set (#3806) as the L7A2, x2 in the MG set.
I have the Pro Art DUMVEE set too. It looks nice. May start it soon myself. Good luck.
