The ammo feeders on the 50 cal turrets are only oriented correctly if the guns are horizontal. I wanted to display the guns vertical and found this when I began installing the ammo belts. I had to cut off the feeders, make new mounting plates, modify the feeder and glue it in place with the correct orientation for vertical barrels. It would have been a lot easier before assembly and painting. I finished the 1st one.
