Default twin 50 cal machine gun

Looking for source for twin 50 cal machine gun. 1/24 scale for PT boat. I am familiar with Franks. Prefer other than lead metal. Any suggestions appreciated.

The shots are from storage. But I did my own 1/10.....37 mm cannons for the PTB. 1/2 hour.

When the boat is running, nobody can see any details. Just do it. Squadro Signals has a PTB pamphlet covering all the 50 cal.--20--37--40 mm. And the Lewis also.

I'm also researching the twin mounted vickers .5 naval version (for 1/24 MTB build) and am finding it hard to get solid info on it. Maybe the link below may help. Lots of text and some pictures on mounts. Sadly not the one on an MTB.

[link]http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/Vickers.html[/link] has lots of information on the Vickers .5

Are you planing on continuous rotation? Moveable barrels? Would be interesting to hear how your going to work it.
