(...) They mostly had at least a skid under the tail. I can't think of a plane that actually dragged the back end of the fusalage and the trailing edge of the tailplane along the ground like the BB does.

I was just looking at the list of Jungle sets, and I've seen all of them except for these two small sets (5905 and 5906).
