    Are LEGO going for military models now? —Benjamin Whytcross
   After looking at the following set: (URL) would seem that LEGO are working towards building military models...This one looks rather like an attack shopper with 'radar' and SAM battery...though this could just be my seeing something that isn't (...)

     (...) According to S@H, its an Air Police Helicopter. The alternate model looks like a SAM site to me. -Brad (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.military)
