Gibbs, for some reason I thought this was an entry to the plane buster build. You seem to be an excellent modeler already but I bet if you and Terry build at the same time, you can share ideas and inspire/motivate each other.

Regards,
 
Sign him up, guys! Fits the criteria and time line. What do you say, Gibbs?

but while vietnam war,the duster wasn't use as aa gun, more in fix position against Vietnamese soldier..

That being true the M42 was designed as a AA gun therefore it qualifies. Had the VC had aircraft I'm sure the M42 would have shot at it.

Yeah go on and sign up

Irrespective whether the M42 was used in a ground attack role

It was designed to shoot the little birdies in the sky :evil:

So

Its allowed (y)

yes, it has been designed to shoot on low and slaw target, because the american SAM had problem at low altitude..
