Gun for hire! I would definitly go for the Gatlings, because of the size. A bit smaller weapons would work better in my eyes from the viewing point. The other guns might work on a bigger plane, for the FLEDERMAUS some smaller weapons should work better. But thats only my opinion!

Whichever way you go on the guns, it will be armed to the teeth!  |

:laugh: While the discussion about possible weapons package is interesting the next step is the power plant. The kit calls for a single engine for forward motion I am developing a two engine configuration. Here is the progress so far. Terry    |

Yeah, love the nozzles! You did some extra detailing, looks great. Any more cables planned? Man, I can´t get enough of this kitbashing/scratchbuilding extravaganza on Maschinenkrieger kits!

Frank For sure yeah! Most rocket engines have lots of piping and wiring. I just have to figure out what makes since for this model. Thanks |

Freakin' awesome dude! For my 2c worth from a weapons perspective, I prefer the multi-barrelled cannons. They look the beez neez! Cheers, Sam |

Absolute looking believable! The extra detail fits in well and will cry out for some colourfull metalcolour paint job. I have thougt if it would make sense to paint the overheated metal like the jet junkies (I have read that they cook aluminium foil together with EGG SHELLS to have the foil coloured. Gruesome but effective, and lots of egg eating indeed!). But anyhow you are going to colour it, it would look top notch!

Yes I can see there being a lot of different metal colors on this. |

A little more engine work primarily on the nozzles. Scratch building is fun, but slow. You come up with the idea and then come up with how to build it. Terry    |
