Within a week of attending the London Premiere I started looking for this in earnest. I was very lucky in that I came across a mint real steel Early Gen 1 KPOS from FAB Defence on GunBroker that was located in Florida. I jumped straight in on it and had a good one friend in California complete the purchase for me to pick up on my spring visit to LA. The first thing that needed to be added were the pop up front and rear backup sights from MagPull. The sling was easily put together using 10 mm bungee. A Tokyo Marui Airsoft Glock 17 was to form the base for the pistol but this was then heavily upgraded internally and externally with an accurately trademarked frame and an aluminium slide, again with correct Glock Trademarks, finished with an extended threaded outer barrel. A friend named Banzai put this together for me and it was with a lot of anticipation I fitted the completed Glock into the KPOS, it fitted perfectly. Next the most complex piece of the whole assembly, the Laser Mic. Although similar to the AN/PVS-16 laser designator system, it was markedly different, so much so that a modification would not be possible. So that left starting from scratch. I had been chatting to resident AJB007 genius Minigeff and knew he was looking to dip his toes back in the water after an absence of some time. I thought screw it and just picked him up and threw him into the deep end of the pool. Within a week of the commission's start Jeff had produced 3D drawings purely from screen shots and studio concept drawings with extrapolated measurements. We went through a few weeks of modifications and rough 3D printed test pieces, each of which was a thing of beauty in itself. I should also mention that part of the brief was to have a fully working blue laser fitted. Jeff rose to every challenge and a couple of weeks ago called to say the final piece was ready, I will let the pictures tell the story of how impressive the completed unit is, needless to say Jeff is def on my Christmas Card list from now on. So we are just left with one piece missing, the suppressor. There was only ever one place to go for this ..... Q-Branch. Although still active, Kev now spends all his spare time racing power boats in the P1 SuperStock series. If you get to see one of the races this season, Kev's mount "Quantum Racing" is number 09. I ran some drawings up and managed to get him out of the boat long enough to complete the suppressor. Anyone who has one of Kev's silencers knows the quality of his work, again the pictures speak for themselves. All I can say in closing is a great many thanks to all involved and enjoy the photos. This is now one of the premier props in my collection.
