+Testing out the fit of the backpack and the magnetic mounting solution for the cannon and stabiliser parts:

+The magnets are easily strong enough to keep the stabiliser fin connected and at a given angle, they're also strong enough to keep the cannon connected - but the length of the cannon means that without support it will rotate until the tip of the cannon rests on the ground. That's not a massive issue as most of the time the cannon will be resting in the hand of the figure (it doesn't need much resistance to stop it from moving as it isn't particularly heavy).
+**[Updated - August 8th 2021]** - Painted the base colour of the backpack, stabliser fin and cannon, all in a blue-tinted grey colour (Vallejo Model Air, __blue grey__ + 5 drops MIG Ammo, __medium gunship grey__ + 5 drops Vallejo Mecha Colour, __titan blue__):

+Touched up the propellant tank armour panels with the magenta-tinted grey that I used earlier, this was to go over those parts that I cleaned the panel ink too-hard and went through the top coat of colour, they're looking much better now:
