Back in 2011 & 2012, I built this model twice (once for a friend and then again to conduct an evaluation of both the template and instruction).
The evaluation thread can be found here: https://www.zealot.com/threads/marauder-destroyer.171394/
Awhile back, my son and I were talking about WH40K (especially since he is a HUGE FAN of the game and has thousands of dollars invested in both figures and models). I asking him if there was a particular plane model that he would like me to build for him. He asked me for the Marauder Destroyer. So, I agreed (not remembering the troubles and issues that I had with the first two times that I had built this model).

Here are the parts for the "Gatling gun" system. Instead of rolling each barrel, I used paper shafts from the "Q"-Tip cotton swabs (and painted them gray with black tips).
