Lovely 

That is a very tempting bit of kit though...

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Very nice.

No undercarriage? Isn't that sensor package at the front in danger if it hits a rock on landing? Unless of course the troops jump out when it's hovering 6 feet off the ground....

Looking forward to the final paint job

Yes it has an undercarriage which does elevate it slightly above floor level (if you look closely there is a gap under the hull and the ramp(s) are angled down.  I imagine that the undercarriage could be raised to overcome any difficulties encountered on landing or even hover on the four manoeuvering thrusters to allow troops to disembark.

Indeed. Very good paintjob. ;-)
