Lyle, you could always display it hanging from the ceiling refueling the Tornado…

That thought has crossed my mind....but so has the thought of how do dragons blow out the candels on their birthday cake.

I could do Marine Hornet maybe. I'd have to find decals for it.

Ok if I get time I'll do this jet (black tailed one). I'll just have to get the decals as I already have the kit.

I'm still in although I've yet to choose a build - actually thinking something with tracks :hmm:

Good choice Stuart. I was thinking the same thing, and believe that I’ve got a good one to build for this. Actually a few, but… :hmm:

Glad somebody is running one, I was planning a build for it this year anyway, an armored vehicle of some sort.

Well, as much as the flyboys and flygirls participated, and all of the other types as well, it was primarily a ground war. Everything else was support for the Army & Marine Corps groundpounders in the long run. Anyone who thinks otherwise can look at the casualty lists.
I’m happy to hear that you’re coming along Glamdring.

Question for you Stik. Were the Strykers in OIF? I need to check my books.

Yes, they deployed to both Iraq & Afghanistan, starting in late 2003. They were not yet fielded at the time of the initial invasion.
