                        I got this 1/350 scale Dragon kit in today and it is pretty interesting with turned aluminum chimneys and PE rails. One thing it also includes is a new tooled RAM launcher. What the heck is RAM I've never heard of it?

                        No, that was a Standard Missile 3 (SM-3).  The RAM or Rolling Airframe Missile is a small Sidewinder-like missile used for close-in point defense vs an aircraft or threat missile.
