Anti-Strela 'toilet bowl' exhaust modifications in the background. I made three and will choose the best. Also, one of the the trannies will be for this kit. The other kits, without the anti-Strela scoop, will need to have it deepened as the turbine face is too close to the exit. Yes, I know Reskit offers it but that is a last resort.

Armament

For this build, I need a pair of XM159 19 shot rocket pods inboard and XM-158 7 shot rocket pods outboard. I will use the kit parts for the 19 shot and Special Hobby resin for the outboard set. The kit's XM-159 pods are usable but the XM-158 pods looked like scaled up 72nd scale kit parts.
