Help with part ID

Sorry if that comment confused anyone. I'm a huge Raider fan. The laser canon on the original Studio Raider uses the engine from the 1/48 scale Monogram Huey (that was then pantographed down to create the model kit). So you have the same helicopter engine details used but in 2 different scales. I just though it was funny that they chose to do that.

OOOHHHH!! Yes, now I understand. I should have picked up on that. I was actually just marvelling at the same concept yesterday as I was laying out kit parts for this project. I was looking at the 1/72 Hasegawa Leopold parts underneath the Raider (that had been pantographed down for the Monogram Raider kit, that were then used on the Sled along with more 1/72 Hasegawa Leopoold parts!).

Fun!

Sorry for the confusion- just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing another part for the sled!!
