Fireball Decals offers some unlisted decals and one is a correction set for Miss Clawd IV:

I also picked up the Eduard PE set, the Aires interior and exterior sets (really only need the Aires interior one), and a replacement minigun pod. You possess the skills to scratchbuild that and I have TM images to help you out when the time comes.

Erik,

Thanks for the first link, I see another sharkmouth design on a Vietnam Area of Operations Loach!
Look for the OH-6A flown by Woods. Also note The Electric Olive from the same unit.

My plan exactly. You may post when ready. I like to study my references before I start.

I have just spent over forty minutes scanning and formatting images from the TM only to find that Google has the manuals online and available for free!

TM 9-1005-298-12 Operator and Organizational Maintenance Manual

TM 11-1520-214-20 Organizational Maintenance Manual

TM 11-1520-214-CL Checklist

TM 55-1520-214-10 Operator's Manual

TM 55-1520-214-PMS Preventive Maintenance Services

After clicking the link, look on the right side. There is a blue Get it Now button but click on "Read on Your Device" and then scroll down & click the PDF symbol. You will then need to fill in the characters to download the manual as an e-book.

Regards,
 
Here are a baker's dozen of TM images in case anyone wants to work on a minigun (Gun trucks used them as well when recovered from helicopters):

Note the bullet trap. Mandatory when the minigun is not in use as it would fire if rotated counterclockwise (when viewed from behind the gun).

Oh Man! Great stuff Saul, I wish I had kept all those training manuals I had in the AF, but I suspect you'd find them on the web quicker than I could if I had them in storage.
