Looks nice. I see the interior (and exterior) is already stripped down for lightweight and utility.

I had heard that the P-Ponk gear upgrade was real tuff and could do damage to the main fusealage. But I had no idea!!

Funny this thing use to have the legs still attached manny years ago. I think someone removed them.
