Haven't seen to many of these posted or I just may have missed them. But I ordered the new Apollo kits from PSI when they came out awhile back. Thinking it would be the same tubes and drills as the Churchill. Well so much for me thinking, the cap needed a 9/16 bit and there was none to be found in the shop with about a 100 drill bits I have, so these got set aside until today. The bits I used were a 9/16 for the cap and 12.5 for the body. I like how the plastic sleve hides itself out of the way on the cap coupler. Threads seem to work good and the back threaded endcap even looks good. I did not like the look of the ALL gold bands, so I used some Rub in Buff and darkened the inside of the bands. Not sure how it will hold up, but gave it a go anyways. On one of the pens, I left off the end center band to see what it would look like. If you do this, you need to turn down the end coupler because it widens to hold the denter band. Well here are the ones I made, I just might order a few more
