I got this kit recently in the Junkyard, and thought I would document its build here.
It’s made by Comet Miniatures, and comes in eight resin pieces and four white metal parts.
The casting is quite good. Of course there are the usual seam lines, and air bubbles to sort out, and generally quite a bit of clean up, but nothing too bad.
I’ve decided to replace the plastic tube that came with the kit for an aluminium barrel. I’m also making an aluminium butt plate.
I’m drilling out the moulded in screw heads and adding real screws.
I’m thinking about lighting up the ten parallelograms with red LED’s, but I haven’t, figured out the easiest way of doing this yet.
Can anyone tell me what the lens is that is below the barrel (See bottom picture below)?
I don’t know if the white metal part provided with the kit is accurate to any of the screen used props, but I think the lens looks better and would like to try and get one.
