ABS80 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) As promised here are some photos of the new AP updates parts, Improved AB plate, correct seperate kidney/butt plate with "L" notch in kidney plate, optional white rubber hand plates, correct detonator end caps, included accurate mic tips, painted on look decals, inner drop boxes ect... The red lines shows were I added the extra material to accomodate up to a 40" waist size without the need of shimming and affecting the original parts, the extra material can easily be trimmed off to original size or custom fit to your actual waist size for a perfect fit.

A Master Builder Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Well then....lol Looks Like I gotta order the kidney Plate Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 That is most excellent! Thanks for doing that for us Mark. Quote
bobafret[TK] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 SO AWESOME! I am so glad I placed my recent order through AP and can't wait to get this sweet, sweet plastic in hand! Quote
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Great work! My only issue is if you need the extra space for the kidney, why have the long notch? Would have preferred to have the notch not cut out so it can be made to 22mm x 22mm after trimming is done if needed. Either way, I like everything else and one day when Mrs. Airborne allows it, I'll be building a TK and have this kit at the top of my want list. Quote
aliens8us Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Oh wow this looks great! Any way we can update our individual parts to these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Either way, I like everything else and one day when Mrs. Airborne allows it, I'll be building a TK and have this kit at the top of my want list. The notches actually have return edges like originals, by not doing any notches and just leave extra flat material people would have to make their own notches, it would look weird to make notches and leave flat material, people would have to fill in the actual notch and make new one at correct place, I mainly did these upgrades to match the movie original, the added material is to accomodate people who are not within movie spec size. The AB plate actually has over 3" extention, so ideally is to leave all material on Ab and trim off the kidney to original size, only if you need more material then you leave whatever you need on the kidney plate.

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 I understand what you're saying. I forgot that you also added to the ab piece. Would be very easy to leave the ab and take away from the kidney. Quote
Nosey10 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 So very excited. This should cover my gut!!...( i hope...lol) Quote
