The Halycon Dropship is OK.  There is not a whole load of detail in it
and
if you want to model the  MLRS weapons payloads open they will need a
bit
of work as there are no hydraulics etc, otherwise it makes an excellent
dropship.  It is around 12-124 inches long by about 4 wide.  It is too
small to look like it realistically carries a Galoob M577, however, the
GZG
LIPPC is almost perfectly sized to look like it can be carried.
