Thanks for the speedy responses, greatly appreciated. I am on the Spec ops forum, posted a question in a thread for armour vendors, and am yet to get a reply (this was about 9 days ago). So I popped on over here and found the FISD much more helpful and informative.
Mercury26 is selling a whole Shadow AM kit unassembled, and was seriously considering buying it, as I'm hoping to have this build done by the end of this year. He does believe it is an AM kit, but I guess I'm in the mind frame of 'wouldn't hurt to try'.
Great photos Andrea, you've sold the AM kit in my mind. :-)
Cheers.
