Tazz:

You're getting better with each model!

A couple comments: you need to secure that stowage with some string "rope," or it will go flyig on the first bump she hits.

Also, what did you add to the .50 cal? It looks like you have a piece of photoetch gun cradle on it -- or maybe it's upsidedown?? I can't tell from the pics, but something doesn't look right.
