"Who's that pilot that shot me down?" I asked one of the Vietcong, then answered me fiendishly. The guy that led the interrogation: "Well, you got shot down by Li Si Tsin"

My second replica, like the last replica I made its not up to scale

It has an afterburner you can use that activates above 95% throttle
