Tanaka M49 HW blued, black chrome!

My Tanaka revolver collection! (some are model guns)

Prime have done a conversion kit for TM, look further back in this thread both me and another guy have posted pictures! they were around 1000 dollars and are probably sold out by now. See page 223, there is my pictures!

It takes some time but start with sanding the slide with 400,600,800 and 1200 grit sandpaper until you have a really smooth surface and then polish it too mirror like shine. mix around a third of a bottle of aluminium black witch ca 1l water, clean the slide with degreaser, dip it in the solution for a couple of minutes and wash it of with water, let it dry, brush of the blackish sooth with a soft brush. re-do the dipping at least three times, at first you will get a blueish, black color and after a couple of dips it will turn to a more almost chromed surface, at this time the HW material won

Yes but i diluted the bluing liquid a lot with water otherwise it will just turn black. i read a lot of Japanese blogs about model guns and they are experts on bluing heavy weight plastic and make it look like blued steel.

My latest projekt, Tanaka M19 2,5HW. Blued with Birchwood casey aluminium black.

My favorite revolvers!

And a mix of most of my 1911's, all TM's with a mix of pgc, guarder hurricane and prime metal kits.

And some newer ones.

Some of my oldies

Please change the grips to proper diamond grips, it looks so much better! :-)

I think this kit is anodized, they call it prime blue. the pictures doesn't give it justice, it is a really deep nice blue colour and looks very similar to the blueing on my real winchester m94.

Yes it is the Prime 1911 conversion kit for tm 1911a1, very expensive but the finish is amazing. always wanted a classic 1911 but the old WA ones are sold out everywhere so i could not pass up on this kit when they released it.

and another one.

To much modern *suitcase* in this Thread ;-), time for some real old school
