Trying to decide if I want to open up the bottom to show off the back half of the gun (ammo drum and ammo chutes).

:giggles: No worries. I normally build pretty slow but this build is going really quick because of how easy it is to build even with all the PE I've thrown at it.

Finished assembling the engines. Still have some gaps and steps to take care of but they fit perfectly on the fuselage.

Ah... the chrome pen! That makes sense because there is some very subtle surface "swirls" on the cannister that may have been brush painted but the finish was at the same time too smooth and shiny to be brush painted. It's a very authentic metal look.

In my opinion that’s a beautiful gun to build an airplane around. I’ve work! And those engines you did are looking good too!

Well since you did all that nice work you gotta show it off...

Yeah but it scares the crap outta me. I hate cutting into the fuselage like this.
