Zocchi Tug question

Does the Zocchi Fed Tug have any weapon mounts? I don't mean for game stats, I mean the mini itself. Thanks.

The tug has two phaser bumps on the forward lower face of the saucer "bump" and one bump on each rear quarter of the upper saucer.
The cargo pods have no weapons molded-in.

Drat. To be expected, but drat nonetheless. Thanks.

If you're worried about removing them, it's really not a big deal.
And if you're looking to add, well...epoxy is a simple solution.

Ah, but one would 1) have to have epoxy and 2) be capable of basic modeling...

2-part epoxy glue: any hardware store or general goods store (Wall-Mart, etc.)
Toothpicks to apply epoxy dots: I'd bet you have these already.
Modeling skill: mix epoxy per directions in paper cup, dip end of toothpick in glue, touch toothpick to mini to leave a little dot of glue, allow to cure (upside down is best, so the glue doesn't flatten out from gravity).
Superglue gel can also be used, it just flows a bit more than epoxy.
That's all there is to it.

Or, even easier if you're only adding phaser mounts:
Super glue gel...
Apply to a scrap of plastic...
Use a sharp toothpick to apply phaser bumps where desired...
1 quick shot of "Zip-Kicker" (or equivalent type super glue accelerator)...
and phasers are done!

Next time I'll remember to put in the smileys. I can paint and model and have plenty of supplies on hand. I was really just having to kitbash, which I don't normally do unless it's for something a little more important.
But this will go down for posterity, so it's all good. Thanks.
