Don't even get me started with wheel size!

I would start by asking the manufacturer what in the world did they use as a reference? But they'll probably deny the request.

So true David. And then we could hit on the additional main gear follow-up door, multiple landing and taxi lights, etc. A few of us who worked or flew the real ones look and laugh at the crazy weapons load outs we see on models. But hey it all looks cool and awesome!
