The gun is around 30mm...not precise cuz i'm usign generic units to measure it all out....but the casing is too small...the gun extends too far out without the support...the images i have are kinda shitty, and hard to tell anything from..thanks for that pic ;)

Taking a look at both pics.. (and, hella nice job MrBlack)



The wings on your plane should be shaped a little different..other than that, and the detail of course, it looks almost identical.
