jmel Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Anyone know of a source for belts for modern jets? I'm looking to dress up the gun in a 32nd F-4E and coming up empty in my search. Thanks! Jake Vandy 1 VX 4 and Luca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The CMK armament set for the Tamiya F-16CJ has one but it's only 16mm long. Otherwise, the only other one I can think of is in 1/35scale for the Academy M163. Carl Luca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Didn't some one also do a 20mm ammo belt for the MH-60 Blackhawks? or was it 30MM one. In 1/35 it is close to 20MM in 1/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) hi Vandy, is this the set you were speaking of (verlinden 1:35 ammo belts .30 cal & .50 cal #60)? unfortunately I've found only this pic and not the reference number I've also found this one: https://www.bnamodelworld.com/military-vehicles-tanks-ammo-weapon-aber-ab-35a047?zenid=3e680b145a87c1d4df3b5ca00d1d9b1e Edited January 14, 2018 by Luca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Jake Hi Jake, I'm not sure if this is helpful, but Eduard makes a PE set that you can use to dress up the Tamiya kit parts. Rather than assemble the PE as instructed, I just glued the magazine bits onto the kit parts as shown here.

Rick Griewski Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 IIRC, MDC makes stills of German 30mm and maybe 20mm cannon shells on belts. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssculptor Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I just opened eBay and typed this in the search window: ammo belts 1/32 1/35 Lots of goodies appeared, up to 75mm ammo. Yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I just opened eBay and typed this in the search window: ammo belts 1/32 1/35 Lots of goodies appeared, up to 75mm ammo. Yummy... The F-4E M61A-1 rotary cannon used a linkless feed, but it would be a nightmare sanding and painting individual 1/32 20mm rounds to stuff into the Eduard feed chutes. Chuck's approach looks the more doable, simulating empty. I don't know how the rotary cannon's drum was reloaded (presumably not using an automated feeder like the A-10's ALS) but it would make for an interesting diorama.

jmel Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Thanks guys. I tried searching and came up empty, but I didn't search eBay. I appreciate it! Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I realise I have spare MiG-21 23mm ammo which may be what you need, as per this sprue... https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tru/images/tru_mig-21mf_parts07.jpg The real things IIRC were 23mm x 115mm long, so are very close.
