      Includes some 2 more shields which make up for more of the defense as Banaghner can probably remotely use them as entire funnels.

      Thrusters and skirting aren't really armor. Other than that you have a massive gun, a chest piece that doesn't protect more as much as just give you a way to shoot misiles, a shield that turns the shield into a cannon, and a whole ass mega gun.
      Plus, H.W.S. sounds better than Weapons, Skirt, and Thrusters. 😂

      if you put hws on hi-nu its just too "crowded" and kills the reason of hi-nu existence

      That was my plan when I ordered my hws expansion, already had the double fin funnel expansion by that time.
      Only thing is finding the time to paint and build it all... Backlog is a bit excessive...
      Was kind of interested in the korean beam (pyramid) shield, but it seems they don't ship that overseas...
      Also have the mg Hi-nu with HWS, but the clear mechanical expo version (also yet to be build)
