It turned out beautifully. The only thing I don't like is the not replaced barrel and and track links embossed with "Taigen" letters
Replacing The Over Size Gun Barrel:
Continuing on from my previous post - (Fri 18 Nov 2022)
It’s been a while but I finally found time to fit the correct sized gun barrel, and as a bonus the flash & recoil still work, I had to trim down the Xenon flash unit in order to get it to fit inside the new smaller diameter gun barrel, it was a fairly tight fit but it worked out fine in the end.
As suggested I also got rid of the Taigen letters on the spare track links.
