Thanks for the clarification Jase.
BTW, are you looking at cranking up production again of your 1/35 set for our M1A1s ?

Yes mate. As soon as this 1/16th version is done. I will have it with me at QMHE this weekend.
The basic build of the RFM kit is done, I then down size the parts, test print and it should be good to go. No idea on a time frame as yet.

I have toyed with the idea of the last camo pattern on the AIM, but time just keeps running out. I will be doing kits for the SEP V3 once they have been in service for at least 12 months.

Excellent. I started the Dragon kit that you based your conversion set off for our A1’s some time ago, then you went into a hiatus, so it’s been sitting in the pile.

Is there any painting guide anywhere that we could follow or is it still too new?

Since they are virtually a Aussie version of the US M1A2 SEP V.3 Im only adding the fridge and umbrella mount to my Aussie SEP V.3
I contacted black ops models about those parts

Looking forward to collecting references on what appear to be brush guards around the lower ARAT mounts.
