M16 restoration

About 2-3 months ago I bought a m16 relic and over the last month I have been looking out for paint and pieces.

First thing I did was to buy replacement air vents. I got these from Verlag Kopf and second was to paint the shell. I used bs-278(light olive green) because I wanted to replicate these photos.

I had to fill small holes in the dome with clay but after this, the shell was ready for painting and weathering. These are the final result.
