Cat (and others), I just wanted to mention that I have gotten a mod installed to add multiple pictures. I hope to start getting more pics added directly to the shop shortly. All new additions will have more pics if they are available.
Also I will work on collecting more data about the models to include in the model desicription including: Size - HxWxL work? features (including additional included color schemes, full cockpit, moving parts etc) Anything else I could include there that would make your shopping experience easier and more enjoyable?
