Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Not drawings, and perhaps you've seen them - But they provide a nice scale comparison, that allow you to get it "close enough" ;)

Mk18 first go, but scale is going to be tricky...

Quick and dirty 50cals - they will be replaced with Empress' standard 50's and I'll add an M60 on the other waist position.  Just adding details...

To while away the time, here’s an interesting video on how the Mk 18 operates.

Looks really good - If it helps, I read that the length of the Mk 18 is 56cm.

Thanks chaps.

Length is very handy thanks!  I think it's about right but it's good to get it right!

You don't happen to know if that was the overall measurement?

Grenade launcher updated.  I'm guessing the 56cm is overall so I went with that, looks reasonable... at the moment!

I think it was - Measurements are scarce, but I found that one here:

http://tonnel-ufo.ru/eanglish/weapon/grenade-mk18-mark-18.php

EDIT: By looking at the picture where the Mk18 and M2 are co-mounted - The M2 is about 65" with an 45" barrel, giving you a Receiver close to 20" or about 51cm
         From looking at the picture, the Mk18 is seems a little shorter than the receiver of the M2, so I'd say 56cm is close enough.
