Hate to be the one that has to tell the F22 that Ukraine beat them to the punch.
I'm certain territory and training plays into this as well. Must be a lot easier to recover damaged equipment for repair when the former frontline is now in a zone you marginally control, and know the difference between a spanner and a vodka bottle.
Modern take on the FX Star Patroller, Bricklink estimates it's around USD 100 to build. 658 pieces as planned (no Minifigure included yet), but these things always change once building starts!

Tried turning a couple Friends Botanical Gardens (41757) into a 32x32 Modular MOC. Time to start ordering pieces!

Interior is complete, but I didn't grab in caps or renders yet. Starting to grab parts to see where I may have made mistakes!

Missed out on the Green Grocer during my dark ages. Decided to build one that's wouldn't cost a few hundred USD just in sand green bricks with groove. This is the result.

Still waiting on a few bricks, and think I need to update the radar turntable, but I think it's a good modern version of the original.
