First off, its been years since I picked up a model, so I felt I would jump right in with the RFM RM-5007 build. I love the M1's fantastic build, and to find out this company builds a full interior, I had to pull that pin and get one. I'm planning on building the M1A2 222 beastmaster. If anyone has photos of the real one or any info about its history or anything like that. Please let me know. Also any tips or missing info with the instructions would be a great heads up. Also any recommended after market parts that would be better then what it given would be fantastic as well. One question for those who have done this build, did you keep the plastic barrel, or upgrade to a metal one?

Thank you

Welcome aboard Mitch!
I am a metal barrel fan. If you get one, don't get a cheap one, get a quality one.

Welcome back to the world of armor modeling Mitch !
And, jumping off the deep end too with an interior kit. Brave man !
I'm plugging away on the RFM M1A2 SEP TUSK I/II kit. On my kit I glued the smoke dischargers (?) in the wrong spot. Easily fixed but vague locating instructions. Just dry fit & dry fit again and you'll be OK. (I should practice what I preach)
Have fun and good luck !

How do you post photos on here anyway? Just finished the main gun, and want to post photos of it. Also did anyone get a extra tree with their build? I got parts to put the tusk armor on, and I want to show it off, but there is nothing in the instruction on how to install it.
