could indeed... but as they are packet by 4 and I need 10, means I need 3 pack (with 2 unused and won't be used as this scale isn't my scale) ... so about 18 US + shipping... that's more than the price of the kit and only for 1 type of guns, ... I'll make them

these have been real difficult AA walls to make, probably because there are 2 identical and they are the lowest of them all
