Just started to build mine. Usually build OOB, but this time I'll make an exception...

I think it would be most useful if they had a comparison photo of the kit part and their product.

Good point. On their website the photo of the Mk.1 barrel set does include the original part for comparison... http://magicmodels.ru/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=3549&category_id=254&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4&lang=en

One can note that the Magic barrel include some 60 PE parts to add. Not for everyone perhaps?

Cheers,

Wow! Sixty parts? While impressive I think that I'd pause before jumping on board. You're absolutely right in that this might be too much for many builders. I'd also have to see the kit part and appreciate the advantages this replacement poses.
