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.

Hey he's welcome to sign up for anything he wants to.

 

[gibbs]

yes , excellent idea!
i think i will sing up!
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.

Irrespective whether the M42 was used in a ground attack role

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

So

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