Hi Mike, that 57mm by the airport disappeared last summer when they tore down the VFW and some other businesses because of the new runway (there's now a big grassy field alongside the Mall of America, presumably for planes to land on if they overshoot the runway--after crossing six lanes of traffic). I don't know where that gun and the old helicopter that was out in front were relocated.
I'm just building up this kit as a review project and comparing it to Resicast's new resin version. I didn't know if the wheels were different between the Zvezda and Italeri/Testors issues. I dug out the old Beep wheels and they appear to be a suitable replacement if someone wanted to go that route and work through some of the other changes that you did so nicely with your build.
Cheers,
Tim |
