I have but 2 kits and don't want to mess them up as it looks like I wont have the chance to get anymore.  Here's what I got:
One PMKMS Kit from a couple years ago, Global Trades, un-fired
One K-Var AK-74 Kit/Plum, looks NEW!
My question, when the builders are assembling the kits, whats the order of operaation?  Must you take off the paint on the kit (front trunion, rear trunion etc) down to the park then rivet, then re-park then re-paint?  This seems the most logical order.
I'm thinking of having JNewt do a partial build, and I need to know what I'll need to do before sending the receiver to him (or whom-ever I choose).
