Very nice start to what can be a nice addition to any collection.
But if you cut the plastic sleeve right at the gun mantle slide the sleeve off without pulling the aluminum barrel out and add a drop or two of supper glue were the tube enters the mantle you will have a much more realistic sized barrel that still shoots.
There is also a problem with the way they molded the turret as it is much to tall.
If you go back through the show off forums and the build forums you will find how to cut about a 1/4 inch off the bottom of the turret which gives it a much better and more realistic look.

I think it looks good as it stands ...sometimes simple is best.. in this case.. with the internals all sorted... she'll definitely be a sleeper ...it is still hard for me to get past those light guards... but they are durable

Have a great Sunday Sire Canned
