Been moving along now that the Greyhound has departed the table. Got the gun mounted in the bathtub. Using the Mk 103 30mm cannon over the Mk 101 increased the rate of fire of the gun from around 260 rpm to 460 rpm. Same ammunition was fired just a lot faster meaning more round down range at the target.

and then I was working on the engines, The cowls were not too bad but the mounting of the engine might be a bit better, It kept wanting to slip back in the cowel. The filter and cowl door (whatever) were separate parts and the filters were of no issue. The doors though, well, lets just say #%$%@#&.
I went to install the first one and after a bit of fussing, it decided to play ping ping ping ricochet rabbit on me a flew where I could only hear it bounce around. I tok the other on and used it to make a template for a new one and almost lost it (it did get away twice) while doing the template. But I prevailed in spite.

Got a couple of coats of Pledge Floor polish on it last night and began decaling this morning.
