Somalia Buildings

MUD,
Actually they did have two DAP kits there in Mog. While they never did use them on an operational snatch and dash mission, they did fly several training lines up the coast for currency requirements. And they were Lima's.

wow... that is an ambitious project. I am in the process of finishing my MH-60 DAP and was going to do a "Blackhawk Down"-ish type of dio. Obviously, those in BHD weren't these aircraft... but I thought I would do a dio of several special forces repelling from a Blackhawk to a Middle-Eastern street.

See this site:http://inquirer.philly.com/packages/somalia/sitemap.asp
and see Blackhawk down movie.

Good luck

Sounds awesome. How about some photos?

3 x 8 feet?

Wow, keep us posted!

You could leave a wall, such as the back wall off to look into them. Or you could leave gaping holes, battle damage, in the walls, roof, etc. to allow interior viewing.
