Excellent, thanks! That means that the wiper is good to go as is. The steering wheel could use a little tightening up on the mounting peg. I'll post some photos of those parts in use on the Wolf Hound later on.

I borrowed my kids' Wolf Hound so I could get some photos of the Snow Cat/Wolf Hound windshield wipers and steering wheel:
That wiper is a perfect fit. The steering wheel needs a little tweaking on the interior of the steering column so that it fits a little more snugly.

Awesome work! Any chance of doing the actual missile boxes for the Whale? Is it cost prohibitive?

I didn't even realize those weren't real parts until you said so. Nice!

Since I have the mounting pegs done I could graft them onto anything though. Custom WHALE weaponry could be a thing. Mini-guns, radar dishes, drone launching arms...what would be cool to do if reproduction boxes aren't feasible? Thanks! The originals are black but this is one case where I think the white nylon might actually look better just staying white.

I built a rough missile box and uploaded it to check on pricing. It looks like they would end up costing around $17 each, which is about as much as a vintage box with intact tabs. So the cost isn't necessarily "prohibitive" but I would say it's certainly not "competitive."
Instead, how about a M61 20mm Vulcan cannon? What you see is a work in progress (and it also needs some more components added of course) but it prices out more reasonably so far. These barrels are about 3" long. Based on this reference image:

Alternative firepower for the Killer WHALE would be awesome! I’ve seen some 3D weapon alternatives for HISSes, VAMPs and Morays. Lots of possibilities

That Vulcan cannon is awesome. It would make a good basis for a Phalanx gun system for the Flagg.

I just placed my order for some revised parts as well as some parts that didn't find their way into the first print order (also some new figure adapter designs to hopefully debut soon). I still have some diorama pieces to order test prints for and then it's back to 3d modeling whatever comes next.

I floated the idea for that in the Flagg owners' thread but it never gained traction. It would be a pretty expensive piece even at about half scale but it's such a neat piece of equipment that I'd love to build one. I just don't want to do it on my own dime .
