Your right air borne jeeps did have the handles removed.This isn't a mistake ive made a universal basic jeep its better to make an air borne jeep from a standard jeep than the other way round.thank you for your input if you feel theres any type of jeep you'ld like to see then contact 1st corps with as much info as possible in a hard copy format. (this way tends to weed out time waisters ) address to me and if mick and simon okay as a model then ill send you my pre production casting of that model free of charge.
