Well there you Have it looks like I'll need a bigger plastic Builders Box for this Target Destroyer ...

Cheers Gerry ... Doing research now ...

At 2:51 am (Saudi time),January 17, 1991, Maj. Greg Feest, like in Panama, struck the first blow to start Operation DESERT STORM. Although he was actually behind the stealth force flying into Baghdad(Kamas Mushait was 650 miles due South of Baghdad), he was the first to bomb Iraq when he destroyed his first target-the center that controlled all of the air defense radars in the Baghdad area.

I'll see if there is a after market for this birds pilot ... :pilot

Thanks Terry although it is a Skill level 3 Kit ... looks simple enough. I'm still searching for after market extras, as this is a Monogram kit does anyone know if the Tamiya or Academy parts will interchange ??? Quick boost has a ejection seat, but that's all that seem generic ... :hmmm :idonno :pilot
 
Maj Feest was flying F-117A 85-0816 (sometimes referred to as 84-0816) "Lone Wolf". tail code "TR", on 17 Jan 91 with 415[sup]th[/sup] TFS, 37[sup]th[/sup] TFW, from King Khalid RSAFB. Aircraft 816 flew 39 combat missions. As a Captain he had flown the same aircraft on the first strikes of "Just Cause" in 1989.
