Started back in December of 2020, I made great progress through May . . . then everything kinda stalled. Getting scale weapons was a bit of an issue and then I was going to go with the tent-like structure over the well, but lack of a spot welder put the kabash on that. So, I've now decided to try and build / install a one spot flight deck. I guess we will see.

And yes, that's a queen sized bed it's sitting on.

Have you considered 3D printed models for the armament?

I've already picked up several 3D printed guns and like I told David, they are just too fragile for a RC application. I am considering making metal ones through 'lost wax process' casting, using the 3D printed units to make the mold. Brass or a white metal alloy would do much better.
