About this 3D model

The Emerson Electric M28 turret, often called the TAT-102, was the primary chin turret system for the Bell AH-1G Cobra helicopter, designed for mounting twin weapons. Direct drop fit replacement for the ICM kit offering which is extremely lacking as shown in the pictures attached. In terms of part engineering, i have decided to extend the inner lip a bit to give you the option of either removing the kit molded inner shelf or conversely to sand the orange colored surface down (shown in one foto) to glue the turret on the molded shelf on the fuselage parts. One turret has smooth surface, the second one included has texturing baked into the solid if you would like to add some dings and dents to the turret. Do not forget to add weight (the part has good enough space) to avoid your kit becoming a tail sitter. You may also print dual M134 miniguns or dual grenade launchers as some helicopters during the Vietnam conflict carried different variations.
