I have that SAS jeep too in my to-do pile. I'm also planning to use an academy mg in it. The original tamiya mg is, let's say, "interesting" :-)
A solid block of plastic for the spade grips, do I need to go on?

I think you can safely use it, as this picture shows one using what appears to be the air force barrel.
