Thanks Mark,
The hull, mantlet, barrel and hatches are all cast resin and manafactured by a guy called Nick Aguilar in the US. They are fantastic quality, and an excellent price for what you get. His hull is more accurate for an M4A1, the Mato one is a later version, you also get the cast texture on his and the sand skirt mounts (though you have to drill the holes yourself. You can contact him here; ndaguilar@grandecom.net
As with all resin parts, they do need preperation. Thye have to be washed with soapy water, and primed very well. And there is some sanding and clean up to do on bits, but nothing major. The recoil was home spun, and the rotor shield for behind the mantlet was procured from a guy on RCU, a member of the DAK group.
Cheers,
Rik
