Och! Frank,
That's a Beauty! MATO may make them all metal but I think it takes a little work ( me and some other guys can testify to this ) to get them to perform like the Taigen right out of the box. It looks like a solid runner. I Love that sputter, sputter crank, sound!
regards,
Painless

Very tastefully kitted out, Frank :thumbup: Apart from the IBU, and the tied on extras...is this pretty much how the Taigen M4A3 76mm appears when you buy it? If so, I have to say I'm impressed with the paint job (oil stains etc..,), unless, of course, it's part of the usual Frankie enhancement. In any event, it's a real looker...

She came from Dave unpainted...they're available painted in the US but they're dearer and subject to customs charges...she was fully wired up to take a Taigen control board...I changed the Taigen recoil and flash unit to a servo and LED...
