25901 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 The flask I have is a un-named white metal kits that a mate let me have, he said there was too much work in it for him regarding removal of flash and the shape. I took it on and I think it's about right apart from some filler. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
