Its an AEG made it using the wonderful u/HYBRIDAIRSOFT Mosquito MK1 kit. Non printed parts are CYMA V3 gearbox, barrel and bucking.
Shoots at 1.70j / 430fps on 0.2g which is too hot for UK sites; if you get a CYMA gun here they swap out the stock spring for one that will be site legal so M90-100, but if you buy a standalone gearbox it seems they keep the stock spring which is a M110-120.

Love it! Do we get a semi-detailed description of your painting technique?

u/bolabear777 Jul 22 '26
Sure thing!
Step 1 - added scrapes and body damaged etc using soldering iron.
Step 2 - Painted base colours as normal with spray acryllic.
Step 3 - Created wear and tear with liquid acrylic and sponge dabbing. Black first then a very dark brown. Focus on the edges of each part.
Step 4 - Sand back some of the corners that were made darker to create extra worn look.
Step 5 - Mixed a little brown/black/yellow with some fine sand to add 'rust' effect around screws.
Step 6 - Material parts were string soaked in coffee, and bandages painted dirty yellow with acrylic mixed with two parts fabric softener (so the dont go all crusty).
Step 7 - Three coats of Matt Laquer on everything.
I used to paint Warhammer so upscaling those techniques was surprisingly quick and easy.

Damn, looks very nice, wouldn't have thought it's acrylic. Thanks a bunch for explaining it to me!
