You can notice the extra gleam, on the barrel, barrel vent, and front grenade launcher barrel end cap…
That wasn’t as painful as i first thought…i’ll crack the grey one open next, for a repaint.
That one was my initial Xforce Custom build.
There appear to be a few subtle differences… i dont think its the SW shell.
Still, i can always just repaint the existing shells.
For the M-40’s…
readily available on ebay…BUT…
It would be one hell of a job, to get the old shotty shells out.
They used some super strong glue, and you would risk damaging the shells / spilling solvent / deforming the shells etc.
It was only because i had the SW shell kit ( to fit on SW thompson) with the empty, un assembled rig, i was able to glue it up.
Also, for next time… i might use some tamiya gun metal grey, on the underneath grenade loader port, and the visible silver shottie pump cover.
I reckon that would finish it off nicely…
Next re-paint…
Full Extra Duty, Hi Gleam , all the way through…
You wont need torches, in the hive…!!
Same here got to get up at 4am to get the job done. Which it is Saturday so nothing happening today
Try and go back to sleep, does not work
Re your paint question(back to the matter at hand) the smoke clear coat I can’t remember the code number and don’t use it for RC stuff. A smoke version just dulls it a bit if that is what you are after.
The TS-42 gun metal light, is a very close colour to the M-40 shell…
"going up the road, to get some Smoke’s now…! "
The non inhaling type…
Going past bunnings, too…mmmm…
Might wash the sausage down, with some isopropyl alcohol to clean down the metal parts…
worked out well, only a couple of drops of solvent required, via cotton bud tip, to dissolve a thin layer of glue…the curved cradle holds it in…not a drop, went onto the shell…
If that is what you are after
