The model was modified by Rabid Models (it was resized and divided into parts so it could be presented as a kit to fit Pat Tritle's SE-5a, and will most likely also fit other 1/6 scale SE-5 models).

The replica Lewis gun is supplied as a kit - the separate parts are produced in two halves which must be glued together and then assembled. The prototype pictured here was painted (2 colors) with no attempt was made to fix anything - this is how the parts look without any modification or added detail.
