Default Lewis & Vickers Gun for WW1 SE-5

I just found out that Williams Bros. has closed up shop. Is there some else that makes 1/6 or 1/5 scale Lewis and Vickers guns? I am just at the covering stage of my Dynaflite SE-5a and I need the guns to complete it. I could make them myself out of Balsa, but I am not very good at cutting out something like a machine gun for a WW1 fighter. [&o]

Thanks

If all you after is something for a sport scale model, then it really doesn't take long to knock out a couple of guns out of plastic pipe and some scrap wood. Below (on the left) is a rough Spandau that took about 30 minutes from start to finish. I don't much care about the details as I'm just going to put it on an Ugly Stik and it's purely for fun. However with a little more work you can also make fairly nice detailed versions as in these two miniature versions I scratch-built based on the WB plastic kits.

Thanks for the input guy's. I think I'll give each one of these a try. I my even try to build my own from the suggestion of one of the guy's here. It looks like it my be easier to build one that I thought.

Thanks
