The nose of the streak will get a headlamp and the barrel at the back is for smuggling booze or the oil spray tank

Next done...

Not sure how to arm the other one.  I'm thinking an Autocannon perhaps?

I'm thinking a single autocannon right through the middle like an ME109....

I dont have access to a lasercutter, but using rubber O rings is brilliant!

If you would like a set I'm sure I can manage to make a kit of the MDK bits.

I'm pondering a Schräge Musik type armament for the next one between the engine and cockpit.
2 or 4 MGs poitning to one side in a fixed mount.

I'm also pondering a Larger Junker with a Navy crew with a bridge and turret based on a river gunboat but with wheels

May be getting a little carried away...

First has twin maxims

Second has a mag fed 75mm (!)

Third has twin COW guns with a loader and a pintle Bren (WIP needs more detailing)

Around Blackpool town centre on a Saturday night for that post apocalyptic feeling....? lol
A 75mm autocannon would make parking and road rage easier to deal with.

Whatever options you choose (and I can see this is obviously addictive), you are certainly putting in more effort than me.
I just boshed some guns on some Matchbox toys and went from there...
