M16A2 with M203
Found this kit from in my storage area. I've built this kit 2 years ago (15 then). I notice a lot of errors after I had come close to the real one. The butt must be flat black since it's rubber and not metal oppose to the Garand. The body must be of metalic grey or gunmetal and not black. I have no more plans of editing this kit. This was Academy's release and it cost $50 USD. I personally don't like this kit - spring is very lousy meaning short range shots of BB bullets. Many screws does not fit and some parts are ommited like the front site. It missed a screw on this one so I can't put it.
Too bad I can't bring this kit outside my house for security reasons.
Enjoy!

Nice, Shonen. I have the standard M-16A1 given to me by a colleague from the club.
Btw, Ive seen a lot of M-16s with metal butts. Plus, some riflemen actually paint the receiver, sometimes in black. This is especially true in the AFP. Several years ago the infantrymen's rifles were getting rusty the soldiers tried to remedy this by applying paint over the rusted area (account from American journalist who went on patrol with Phil. Marines).

M16... pfft... 
LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT MY GARDEN A FEW WEEKS AGO:

Why, if it isn't a trebuchet! #:-) (pssssst! IPMS! How 'bout we bin the Gambier Bay and do a working model of a trebuchet that can fling a full grown cow 500 meters away? #:-)

Caption for your pic:
1. No, no, even if you attach a laser range finder I dont think the US Army will buy this.

I have one:
1. Well, if it isn't the largest see saw in the word. Too bad people can't reach the other end.
2. The catapult that can throw a Philippine soldier from Manila to Mindanao easily.

Think of it guys... we can lay siege on every model shop out there (or SR can lay a siege at Air Force One or Sky Trek KTV) and they'll beg us to lift it by paying ransom hehehehe
Potential caption:
"The Philippine Army has recently received its latest field artillery device. Dubbed 'The Lolita', it was ordered from the UK and assembled on-site where the trebuchet was needed. Here, 'The Lolita' is shown in combat operations in Basilan, flinging Greek fire and 3-ton boulders at the bandits' lair."
