Haven't checked the page in question, but from your description the VTOL
sounds like the old CMD "heavy" VTOL, which we have back in production
as
the Super Boxcar, code DF-V05; it uses the Boxcar cockpit, a much
enlarged
rear section and two big ducted lift fans on the sides. I suspect the
Landing Craft may be the flatbed VTOL heavy lifter that CMD did - a flat
load deck, small frontal cockpit and four of the same fan units the
Super
Boxcar uses. We've not got round to re-releasing this one yet.
