A plea for bits....!!

[valiant]

Hi Guys,

Is there anyone out there who may be able to help me out with a future project, please?

I need a 1/16 (120mm) scale M1 carbine if anyone has one - metal or resin. On the strength of my National Serviceman in Cyprus conversion, I have been asked to do a one off version of the similar thing, but in Malaya, 1950. As the unit in question was issued with the M1, I need one to use for the new figure please!

many thanks in anticipation,

Steve

Quality of these parts is excellent, service as well.

Cheers,

Cheers Adrian, thanks - I know Steve and he has helped me out a lot with various bits and pieces, but unfortunately, his range doesn't yet include an M1 in this scale!

Hi Steve,
I might have one somewhere but I know it's a bit trashed. I think the trigger guard and barrel were broken. If you cannot get one off Foxwood I'll send you the one I have for nothing mate.
cheers
Richie

Cheers Richie - If the basics are there I can repair the other details - I just don't really have the time to make one up from scratch! If you can find it, that would be fantastic, ta!!

 

[Richie]

[valiant]

Yep - I can use that, cheers, mate!!
