I picked this up from SD Studios a few weeks ago and just finished it up. I decided to leave the body "as-is" since it was cast off of the real prop. Normally, I'd fill everything and make it as perfect as I can. But if I did want to revamp it, I'd want to redo the handle as well (and I feel that would lose the look of it). I opted to leave the brass "as-is" instead of cleaning it up since I was leaving the body "imperfect". ANYWAY, I also decided not to do the rear sight at this time, but might at a later date.
The kit is SUPERB! One of the nicest kits, if not THE nicest I've ever gotten. The resin body was excellent, and didn't need any work other than drilling out the hole for the trigger and cutting off a portion for the working barrel. The machining on the barrel is very nice, rotating barrel, extending barrel with a sleeve insert to keep from scratching the brass, machined acrylic pieces, etc.
I wanted to use a laser pointer inside too and wire it to the trigger. So I tore apart a laser pointer pen, and wired up a new battery. It is lined up so it will shine through each of the emitter tips when you pull the trigger.
