These went together quite quickly as we have had all of the parts detailed and waiting for assembly for a few months.
  7. looks like you have a good grip on what you are tring to acomplish with this build.
  8. maybe following the original way to create the color, add just a speck of black to your yellow until you like what you see?
  9. Great Job and welcome to the forum
  10. Also to authentiate the guns were fired. I beleive that a red covering of paper? cloth? was usually used FWIR
