Modified Airsoft FBI Issue pistol for Indy

Post by IndyWannaBee »

A little bit of sanding, painting, and more sanding results in a pretty good version of an Indy pistol. I still need to figure out how to remove the rest of the orange tip and add a lanyard ring.

Thank you. I was surprised that different plastic types were used on this gun but the silver paint helped to hide the imperfections from sanding too much. I am touching up a few spots with a little more silver and hitting it again with some flat black. I was going to use a spray apparatus but this adds too much "starfield" effect to the paint job and lacks blending between the two colors. I 'll post some follow ups after I finish the job.

Do a search on Google for "HFC FBI Issue" and look for the cheapest price. I found mine using this method and it was $39.00 plus about $6.00 shipping.

Here is a cool Smith and Wesson like gun:
