Just needs a couple of pintle-mounted Browning "Five-Oh's" to complete the look

Also needs to be a little shorter, US Army ones were Bell/Boeing built
SRN-5's; a handful of SRN-5s were given the designation PACV (Patrol Air-Cushion Vehicle) and tested in Vietnam. (Although able to move with great speed over water and shallow, marshy areas, the PACVs proved to be too noisy and too mechanically sophisticated for the river war in South Vietnam. After the Tet emergency, the craft were shipped back to the United States for re-valuation.)
