You could start with the DML LSSC as the shell. Then cut out the engine compartment and such so it is all open like the reference pics. Then add your .50s and such. Make the canopy with styrene rods and tissue soaked in white glue. Get the mingun set from Legend. Parts from the Tamiya Pibber could most likely be used. No clue about that big camera thing though.
GOOD LUCK!!!
