Tevans55 what material did you use on the outside of the guns on that Spitfire it looks great.
The canons were turned on a lathe. I just used some oak dowel rod. The machine guns were made from aluminum tubing.

Oh, by the way, four good flights will use about 1/3 of a gallon of fuel with the OS 120 ax. The alternative was to have a muffler or intake sticking out of the cowl at the time.
