Lovely build. Nice to see one build as something else then the gunship variant.

That’s a beauty! Must have been quite the paint challenge.

It's a fine model, but I have to say that scheme on it brings to mind "Lipstick on a Pig". One of the fellows I used to work with had flown them in the guard and it was not a happy memory.

I heard stories from older paratroopers who had jumped from them. The Jumpmasters had to stagger the exits when jumping from both doors due to the placement of the jump doors in the design at the rear to reduce the possibility of collisions and entanglements.

Wow, sensational job Peter! Much better than mine that I did some years ago. Brilliant!
