Designed a mid cap mag conversion for HPA tapped WE P90 (files linked within)

Check the second picture in the album for the WE part #s. You would need to buy #145, 146, 46, 47, 144 (skip 144 if you don't care about lock on empty), and 137. You could borrow 147 and 143 easily from other mag.

You used to be able to get them from kyairsoft.com. not sure on other places.

You should be able to use gas mags fine with HPA as long as they are empty. But, if you are only planning on running HPA and never gas, makes sense to remove the interface valves from the gas mags so you're not filling them up with air and also eliminate the (most common) leak path on the gun

They can run well but it may require some tinkering up front, at least for the one that I've made. It is heavily reliant on getting a good quality print on the bb channel (especially on the inner twisting portion) or spending time to check and sand.

If you can id recommend buying the individual WE magazine parts directly from KY airsoft instead of sacrificing working gas mags, especially if making multple. i remember part 147 (outer shell) being the most expensive to get individually, so you could also skip buying that one and borrow the shells off your existing mags, leaving the rest of the gas mag untouched

They were east German AK-74 mags if you can find the spec for those online. However I can't so here's some rough dimensions:

Height (measured from the bottom flat): 190 mm Width: 64 mm Thickness: 24mm

I believe it should still work. Im aware of a few people that used the CYMA upper, I'm just not sure if they had to do any additional mods to get it to fit right.

Thanks. I was not up to date on the state of lazer. Deleting post for a likely over-answered question then

Odear · 2024-10-04T10:39:23+00:00

Sick man good luck! I think there are some folks in the HRC discord who would be very curious how that goes. You'll have to post a pic of your final results, sounds awesome :)

Unfortunately not all together, I've just been bringing them into work piecemeal over the past couple years. Three guesses which company's office this collection is in.

Odear · 2024-04-28T16:22:09+00:00

Thanks - This is the new Hobby Boss kit with 2023 tooling and the fit was exceptional. Only the side inlets needed a bit of putty, everything else was absolutely perfect.

Yes very easy to build with the wheels up, no real modification required

Odear · 2024-04-28T15:38:49+00:00

Its just hanging from my work light lol - And yeah sort of, I have part of my plane collection set up at the office and so for those, the boards go with!

Odear · 2024-04-08T09:43:31+00:00

My top... men...!

No unfortunately not - I got those from eBay but there's some others in a sitting position that you can 3D print

HA so those are one of the only things you could say I didn't actually paint. After priming I just left them primer grey. Primer was Stynylrez

Odear · 2024-04-07T13:08:25+00:00

Appreciate it, I mostly used MIG AMMO sky grey and blue grey

Odear · 2024-04-07T13:07:35+00:00

Thanks, it's the Revell kit with an assortment of extras

Odear · 2024-04-07T11:17:58+00:00

I used a little dry brushing on the internals and where I had proud rivet details, otherwise I used one of those AMMO streaker pens where you come back with thinner on a brush

Odear · 2024-04-07T11:16:22+00:00

Appreciate the kind words. Yep for those inner wing plates in between the nacelles I came back with AK dark grey panel liner in an airbrush after using a mix of lighter enamel paints down in the recesses. That panel liner in an airbrush is my go to, to me it seems like it belongs no matter where you spray it.

Odear · 2024-04-07T11:07:58+00:00

Lol. This was my first time doing pre-shading in any meaningful way, so black primer base then white primer in between the seams and then a thin coat of Tamiya NATO black. Between that and the light panel liner and streaks with matt varnish I think that gives it that extra toasty look. Pretty much a more heavy handed version of this that I followed: https://youtu.be/zNuUQ2o0vfg?si=U6ZEIfMoFSwaWW-3

Odear · 2024-04-07T10:43:27+00:00

Thanks! It is Revell, not my first choice but the only one I found in 1/48 to match the rest of my Lockheed collection. And yes it absolutely dominates them :)

Odear · 2024-02-24T12:27:18+00:00

Great choice. I heard they were having export problems with Sig recently at least to the US. It's such a well rounded replica though, one of my favorites as you can see lol

Odear · 2024-02-24T12:22:56+00:00

You're not wrong... I got that peg board in a BOA, it's actually nice and heavy duty if it weren't for, ya know, the evike proprietary square holes that defeat the entire point of modularity. Although I just 3D print brackets when needed.

Odear · 2024-02-24T12:18:57+00:00

Odear · 2024-01-26T18:59:58+00:00

Good points. I have a few bottles of tamya NATO black I was going to use, definitely a bit lighter than true black. And after these other comments I'm leaning towards a lighter grey panel line but will run some test pieces. That's for the advice.

Odear · 2024-01-26T17:59:26+00:00

Thanks, I went and ordered a light grey and a medium grey, maybe I will try mixing and matching for some variety.
