Thanks!
Yes it is. Fast work without any modification...and loong time for airbrush!
Now i'm going to keep all my attention to realize a realistik Barb...but as you can see
too many problems...
too many questions:
-first question: is there any good producers of 20mm orelikon twin/single - metal and resin?
ghgh i've seen some in nautilus resin made and j.r. haydes metal....
ok thats all i'm leaving to sydney to get some rest before return in italy.
ceers to all captains

oh, but that last shot is sooo nice!
As for the light, I can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure it's the same for wveryone - show as little as possible. I bet that bottom, top, and front were closed, light only from the rear/side.

I've 4 photos of SS-220 Barb.... all of them says to me rear light is closed (but i am sure 100% only for barb)
my question is...
-upper and bottom light
sure tey has to present some holes to leave water and airbubbles free flow....
-form where they have maintenance to light? upper bottom lateral??
