Could anyone help with some good pics of the kit? Am considering grabbing one, and the pics on Comet Minitures dont seem detailed enough.
I got one of comet miniatures kits back in January, thanks again for that to all the dudes at Comet Miniatures
.
Their kit does require a little work like, I had to sand off the excess plastic and file down other areas a little so that my TM Thompson fit a little better and small trivial things like that, nothing major.
I've replaced most of the resin parts from the Comet Miniatures kit with their metal counterparts as I'm building a working, customized, Airsoft version of the Pulse Rifle so I need it to be strong and durable, so I can take it to an airsoft skirmish day and not worry about it breaking. I wouldn't get that from the resin parts, however, if it's just for display or costume purposes only then their kit is ideal in that regards.
Here's a few pics,
All the various parts including my TM Thompson stripped down, this pic includes the metal SPAS cage, couldn't find the picture I had with the resin one,
All the bits and bobs put together, before anything has been bolted or screwed in place,
the outer barrel hasn't been cut and it's hair bands holding it together to see how it fits.
As it looks now all bolted together with metal parts and fully functional, minus the Tanaka M870 in the grenade launcher that comes a little later, same with the ammo counter,
