Yes I just masked with Tamiya tape and liquid mask before spreying it with Rustoleum textured paint, in this case its tan in color but only because thats what the store had lol.

Barrel is test fitted, got to say I was surprised by the good quality casting of this part,

Good progress, Tom. Is the barrel in a temporary position, it looks like it has a little curve to the left. Looking forward to the next update. :drinks

 

[jknaus]

Good stuff. That AM looks great on there. I agree with Mike the barrel looks bent?
