Those of you with a 1:18 BBI PAvehawk...

What is included with the item. The specs say 2 7.62 MG's. Can you specify?

Thanks!

I asked the same thing a couple of months ago. I'm still wondering where those alleged guns are....

I bought the pavehawk some time back and everything in the box is exactly the same except the paint job. No guns

Thanks for the report. As I suspected....This pisses me off not only because bbi is shamelessly lying about it's product to prompt people to buy a repaint, but also because ALL THE RETAILERS DESCRIBE THE BIRD AS HAVING GUNS. They need to change the description on their sites because that's BS

I'm no helo expert, but I believe the Pavehawk also has a huge refuelling probe jutting from the starboard side of the nose. I've never seen a picture of a Pavehawk without that unique characteristic, and I didn't see one on the pictures of the BBI version. That was a deal-breaker for me! BBI better realize they're not dealing with morons!

I believe 21st has done the same thing with their new Shark Mouth "Easy Rider" Huey. The auctions on eBay and others are describing the helo as coming with a pilot and two soldiers. In fact, all it has is the pilot. The slick came with crew but not this one. I contacted a good seller and he was told on presales that a crew also came with this one. Looks like another example of bait and switch from 21st too.
