Apparently, simply painting G1 Ultra Magnus parts black to make them match Diaclone Powered Convoy doesn't really work. The holes on the back ends of the launchers are too small to fit onto PC's posts when in truck mode. Add a layer of paint and they are impossible to get on.
Same goes for the small G1 fists. The posts are a little too big to fit PC's headlight holes so painting them black will make them way too big to plug in.
So do any of you know someone that can cast G1 parts?
In order of importance, I need:
- G1 UM shoulder lanchers in black (no need for internals to work)
- G1 UM missiles in either grey or white
- G1 UM/OP fists in black
- G1 UM belt/trailer connector in black (I have one of the real deal but its always nice to have a spare)
- G1 UM rifle in black (I managed to paint one black and it sorta works but, again, a spare would be nice)
