    Ok guys I managed to shoehorn the cannons in the PE. Paul hope you are "VERY" aggressive with this thing because it is designed to kill at point blank range so "HUG&SLUGEM" big guy.

    I also glued a Tab insert underneath the throttle platform and the tab sits nicely between the 2 batteries. This keeps the platform from shifting around in the hull.

    Here are the pics..

    more to come. I need to trim the length of hoses of the cannons and poppets and secure the cannons in their mounts and secure the turrets.

    The turrets then will have their remaining fake barrels installed. Hmmm should I use straws for barrels like Marty did for his PE?

    Here are a few more with the main hatch and superstructure in place. It's beginning to look like a combat ship.

    The work is phenomenal. Great gun angles. When the PE gets close your doom is at hand.
