If I remember, I'll test Pro-Weld on the Tiran over the weekend and we'll see what happens.
Test complete! I tried Pro-Weld on the gun, which I shall be discarding cos it's gash. Kevin, it's probably too late if you cast those replacement guns from the kit, but a much better option is to pinch one from somewhere else. Mine will be sporting the gun from a Tamiya Type 74. Anyway, I've discovered a number of things:
1 Pro-Weld works on these kits. Yay!
2 The plastic is very soft - absurdly soft, in fact. You have to be very careful trimming it.
3 Fit is poor - there are gaps along the barrel, the two sides don't line up, and the locating pins inside it prevent either problem being corrected.
4 The gun is bent! Just ahead of the bore evacuator it angles a few degrees to the right.
Apart from that, though, it's a Tiran for twelve quid, and one of my lingering questions about it is answered.
