I was working on my latest build so tentatively that I glued the wing halves together and forgot to prepare the recess for the guns!
I concentrated on getting a perfect fit with no seam line and have achieved that more or less……lol
I know where the P-39 guns are located, but don’t have a micro drill. Any idea of what I can use indtead?

you can use the tip of a fresh #11 x-acto knife blade.
put the tip in the center of the hole and spin the knife by the handle.
this will make a conical shaped hole, but that doesn't matter too much if you paint the hole black.
just be sure to stop drilling before the hole gets too wide!
