PE work looks good. This one should be really nice when done.

That minigun must have been a hoot to assemble. Nice work all around so far.

Gino - Thank you - and also for your assistance to this point ! Greg - it really wasn't bad ....once l drilled out all 3 parts # 1 as well as 2,3 & 4 !!! And l still have 1 to go ! Wondering about a solve for the cargo hook / hell hole areas .... Would it be correct to mount the hook to a short length of braid ?

That M-134 minigun turned out beautifully, 4x4! I took advantage of your advice to drill things out and the dry fits look promising. Thanks for the warning - much obliged. The rest of your build is looking sharp and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this project.

There wouldn't be a cargo hook on a gunship. Extra weight you don't need when you could carry more bullets!

I got some primer shot last night ... I decided to try a new ( for me anyway ) technique l want to call " reverse pre-shading " . I sprayed a black preshade where light would be the " brightest " and a bright white in the deeper areas and areas where l want the P/E to be spotlighted . Pics ( hopefully ) to follow - hoping to start the interior gray this evening
