Actually, I'd not consider it Aliens-APC like at all, in anything other
than general concept (ie: a low-profile interface portable wheeled APC).
The changes suggested above will make it a little bit Aliens like in
overall configuration, but it will still be very different.

To give you the full story on this, actually KR wants to get this one
quite
badly, but the problem is that I haven't got anything good enough to
send
him as a master right now. The moulds for the 25-56 dropship are old and
failing, and I need to do some bits of reworking of the original before
I
remould it - at the moment we are just casting the odd one or two out to
fill UK orders as they come in (and a couple to take to each show we
do).
The remodelling/remoulding is in the "to be done" pile, like so much
other
stuff (FB2, FMA, BDS, sleep, food etc., etc..... you get the idea?).
When we get it revised for full production again, KR will get his
masters
and be able to make it for the US market.

Now  those WILL be available in the US (the masters have been shipped
over)
- I suggest you pester KR about release dates.... <grin>
