After some discussion with my colleagues, I decided to put guns on the almost done Skyhawk...
Yeah, I was not happy, because I worried about all the work I have done till now. First, I cut brass tubes accordingly to original plastic guns in the kit. I let some of them a bit longer, because I planned to slide them over each other.
I used sizes 0,7-0,9 + 0,9-1,1 + 1,1-1,3 mm. The most difficult was drilling small holes on coolers. I have never tried to scratchuild such tiny parts, so it was real challenge. However, looking back at that, it was quite easy.
Finally I drilled holes into leading edge of wing roots. This was the most dangerous moment of this operation. I used 3 sizes of drills and a needle file at the end for fine tuning.
Well, I think new guns, which were not planned from the start, look excellent and I am happy that my colleagues supported me in this.
