Looks like a great kit. I've always wondered two things about this aircraft. First, I would think that firing the gun on the left side cause the aircraft to jolt violently to the right. I believe it's 105 mm, which gives tanks a sizable recoil, so I can only imagine what it does to a plane in flight. Second, I wonder whether having all of the armament on the left side of the aircraft put unilateral stress on the airframe.

Anyway, it should be a great build!

Seems the plane isn't moving at all, when the Canon is fired. As from Minute 4 you can see, when the Canon is fired.

The 105 is actually a modified Pack Howitzer from WWII, the recoil is quite contained
