Thank you for the comments Gabriel and Chris! I really appreciate it, I am working on the foremast and its rigging, photos will come soon.

Chris, by stringbag do you mean the kite with an engine? :big_grin:

Hi everyone,

I started rigging, finishing other small details, and adjusting the foremast. I have to say, that the Flyhawk 20mm guns are very nice! Fairly easy to assemble and look great to me. The pedestals are the kit parts.

Here they are placed in position next to the .50 cal guns (from WEM).
