My Karl is available too.So this afternoon,when I make my weekly pilgrimage to my dealer(i mean LHS) I will drop $50.95 for one.
Then the construction begins.
Also to tempt me,The DML Panther A is available,and a Hornisse.
So much plastic,so little time.
Eh,sleep is vastly overrated,I can go a few weeks staying up all night,working. #:-)

Got it.Oops,$55.95
That's ok. I guess now I will dig in.I kinda wonder if Jordi Rubio would DARE try to make an aftrmarket barrel? :-) :-)
Or maybe Modelkasten or Fruili tracks?
Its a rainy evening,so I will split my time on starting this,and continuing on a wingy thing.

This is not funny it needs someway to replace the Rifling so that it has some turns to it not much but some. I was wondering do you think their is way to either use a thin foil press on and make it larger then give it a twist. Sort of like cutting it at an angle .Also I will wait until Aber Or Eduard put out the Pe for it. On the barrel I wonder if evergreen plastic could be used for replacing it? you know the resin folks are going to jump on this baby heck kit is going to cost 150.00 time you get all the little goodies that they must be thinking up. Enjoy it looks killer

I bet Aber could make the rifling for it I own some kind of rifling kit somewhere back in the room. Just sand it out and apply

A few years ago Show Modeling did a PE set of barrel rifleing for lots of different guns. I used the product on my Sturm Tiger. It looked great. I hope that someone does that for this kit, but I doubt that will come very fast.

I picked up my Karl kit today.... I have only spent a few minutes looking it over. I have to say that my initial impression is WOW... WOW and WOW...

This thing will dwarf even a FAMO.... I can't wait to get started. This is a great day. I can't wait to see the Leopold...

I'll post pictures when I have some more to show.

In the meantime you all might enjoy this review -
