Agreed! I wonder if any of them went up against Panamanian armor... such as it is.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

No armor vs armor action in Panama. The PDF did have some Cadillac V-100 type armored cars that tried engaging the Rangers during the airfield seizures. Specter got ‘em.

Specter is a bad ass piece of machinery. A great way to shoot in a combat parachute assault as they did in Panama and Grenada when the AAA is coming up....

Agreed. I had a friend who was third of the plane on Grenada when they took Point Salinas Airfield. He had a hilarious story of Spectre when they were faced with a full company of crack Cuban troops on the ground.
