Nicely done mate i saw these kits sell for like £50 at War and Peace was tempted to buy one. But managed to resist... just.
Can I just ask if you had any trouble with the handgrip whilst fitting the motor?
I'm using the standard CYMA plastic pistol grip as I don't posses the tools or skill to hollow out the vintage pistol grip to accommodate the motor.

There is no shame in that as i believe the Real Grips are too small to fit the motor in. I was just shocked as i thought you were the first person i would of know who has achieved it.

Re: WWII guns...
my recently reconditioned stg 44:
Chemically blued metal (which was hard as the damn thing is potmetal) just trying to think of a treatment to make the copper gas tube the correct colour :/

Re: WWII guns...
considering the thompson is usually named the first smg,they are huge and unwealdy to use and not for people with short arms,but if you try pointing them down as if shooting into a trench then they all make sense again.because that was one of the intended uses and the motivator for the design was to clear trenches because that was what was expected to be the main type of warfare.pointing them down makes them comfortable,verry strange but try it.

Re: WWII guns...
I love the Thompson and I personally think it's a great gun for woodland, urban or CQB use.
I've never had an issue with it being too big or unwieldy at all and I'm hardly a hulking brute of a man @ 5'11" tall.

To be pedantic: It was the first weapon to use the term "Submachine Gun". There were other weapons of its class around beforehand, but Auto Ordnance "invented" the term "Submachine Gun" for the Thompson.
WRT its intended trench warfare purpose: The original versions had the vertical foregrip and no butt, or it was easily removable. That makes it MUCH better for CQB.

Re: WWII guns...
your thompson woodwork is beutiful and not wethering the metalwork is so mutch better imho as if your going for a period look then the gun would be quite young and not overly weathered.people so often forget that the way a real one looks now is not how they would have looked 70 years ago when carefully looked after by the guy whose life depended on it.
