Just picked one of these up from Tower Hobbies with a new DLE 55 rear exhaust, $150 off my order was nice.

I think I can add a few things that others may like that I don't see in this or other threads. Also a big plus, they fixed the nose art with this new batch at Tower:



Also, surprised no one else thought of it, but the flaps are hinged low enough to allow completely internal push-rod set ups. That is what I will be doing.

I will be selling the electric retract units (never used) and going with an all air set up. I will be using the stock struts with robart 635 mains and tail wheel unit converted to air. For the gear doors I'll be using air rams and for the valve and sequencer I'm using the UP2 valve. I will show how to get the geometry right to keep your doors shut tight, see lots of hanging doors around, another reason air is better though.

The Gunfighter scheme is in the next container, I have mine reserved already!
