Oh, I forgot! I also added some hole punchers. Now, it has been suggested that since this is a toon build, I should make the guns more oversized?
Thoughts?

I've just caught up with this build Rob, bloody awesome is all I can say, I love the fact you're adding detail to an eggplane build! The painting looks eggselent and I like the look of the guns, I'd say leave them as is personally.

Thank you! See, that's what I said about the guns too! I showed 'em at RPF and got the "Think about makin' 'em bigger and car-toony". SO, I've thought about it. It does make sense I reckon, but you know how these things go, nothin' was said until they was built.

This is so cool
If you look at the eggplane bombers the guns all look pretty realistic (some exceptions to the rule) so i think what you had looks good.
Maybe look at the meng eggplane lancaster for the turrent?

Absolutely no reason an egg needs to look this good...
Fantastic details and your work looks amazing

Thank you! Yes, I actually have that kit. Now, I probably wouldn't ruin it by stealing the guns out of it for this build, they're too big in the Lancaster anyway. These MENG toon planes are decent sized. Small, yes, but bigger than this Yolk-Wing. Now, if you meant just to look at them for a shape to make some? Excellent suggestion!

Thank you also! Thank you both for stopping by.
Now, hold on a minute here... Even though it fell outta a chicken's hiney hole, forget that. Think "scramble" the fighters! I'm tryin' to turn this into a symbol of DEATH for the Empire! Vader should be quaking in his roost!

This is very cool, are you freelancing or following some photos?

Thank you! I've been going by a couple I posted earlier of a studio scale replica. Since this is what it is and will never be studio scale, mostly shootin' from the hip.
This earlier post is what I'm adding things to mine by.
