I got to ride in one of these during Dessert Storm . I was stationed in Spangdahlem Germany . One hell of a ride , and when I said I wanted to see the burning oil wells , the pilot flipped the ac over one gave me one hell of a birds eye view of the scenery . The he said take the stick and play a while , was the highlight of my career in the Air Force .

Thanks for sharing that! It looks like a good kit (with some clean-up and modification) and I'll be building it just as soon as I get some resin wheels and PE.
