A/CLL-773 Gunship

Since the Vietnam War the U.S. Military has used modified cargo aircraft equipped with side-firing guns to support ground forces.

This is a fairly simple modification of set 7734 (the LEGO City Cargo Plane). Any of LEGO's "Large Airplane" sets would do for the same purpose (although the jetliners might work better as heavy bombers). I'm planning to write a flyer supplement for the 2001 rules as well as a larger rulebook for a full air-combat game. The first one should be done sometime next month, the second one over the summer.

AC130 was the inspiration, right?

Looks good!

All the guns on an AC130 are on the left side.
