Looking for a replacement MG for my Skif T-80UD. I am missing a piece and overall this MG is sad looking. Who makes a good AM replacement?

Eric,
Tank makes a great gun but it is not the type on the T-80. I appreciate the help though.

That is the Dshkt Machine gun. The one I am looking for is the NSVT. See this link for difference.

Just for reference I like the Tank Dushka better than the Fruil. Assembling the Fruil one will drive you nuts.

Hi Guys,
been browsing too and I cant find any aftermarket NSVT's, one option is to "acquire" one from the Tamiya T 72, which looks very nice from pics I've seen, I dont know if you can find a cheap kit/ parts thereof, or even a built model on eBay or suchlike..if you Google "aftermarket NSVT" it throws up a couple of posts on the Network 54 forums but I have not found the specific post yet.

Michael,

Blast just released the NVST that came with their T-72 conversion as a separate kit:

http://www.phpshopxml.com/blamod.shop/CID/b4fcbbfa82ef26ce335aa9dfb3bf2edb/function/itemPageDisplay/shopItemCode/BL35072K

Of course this is the manually controlled mount, not a remote-controlled mount, and I don't recall what's on the Skif kit, but it should help.

Cheers,

Olaf

The Skif is remote controlled, but at this point anything will due. The blast models looks perfect. Thanks for all of your help everyone.
