This detail set from Aires features 4 resin M-60 7.62mm machine guns.  The M-60 was introduced in 1957 and served with every branch of the U.S. military.  The M60 evolved during it's operational life and this one has the front support legs folded up under the barrel.  This is a belt fed machine gun and included with these 4 M-60's are 2 belts of ammunition.  The resin ammunition belts can be bent with the careful application of steam by quickly holding the belt over a kettle with some tweezers. 

These M-60's would be the perfect addition to the interior of a Vietnam era helicopter.   

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from Aires or from the many retailers that carry their products.  

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this product sample.
