Copper & Camphor Jr. Retro RB

[Dalecamino]

Thought I would try one of these kits from CSUSA with a Camphor blank I got a couple of years ago from our late friend Johnnie Jarheaded (rest in peace brother) I have alot of blanks from Johnnie and his brother Neil , but I thought this blank would stand up well with the copper plating . What do you all think ? Thanks for looking !

I think it shows off the copper plating well. The tones in the Camphor match well.
From another Leather Neck. May Johnnie rest in peace.

I'm not usually a fan of the copper kits, but that looks really sharp.

Nice work!

Thank you friends ! Just thought I'd try this out . The instructions say that copper is the softest of the platings , therefore the plating on these components is thicker , and you should not turn the blanks all the way down to the bushings . I followed the instructions (this time) :biggrin:

I dont know why they are discontinuing the Jr Retro. I think it is one of the nicer looking kits out there. And what is wrong with copper, I love it.
