Homelite XL-870

[onlyhomelites]

I finally finished up my XL-870. After a decade of abuse in my firewood cutting fleet, I decided it was time to freshen it up and put it in the collection.  All in all, I'm happy with how it turned out, but I wish I had matched the green a bit better for the starter cover.  If anyone ever reproduces the decals, I'll repaint the covers completely and do it right!

The starter cover turned out too dark, but in the daylight the difference isn't quite so noticeable.
