The FFAR’s raw power and area impact made it invaluable in combat, despite its lack of guidance accuracy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis model kit replicates the XM158 pods as they were used on UH-1C gunships, which often replaced their round XM157 rocket pods with the exposed, replaceable XM158 tubes for easier field maintenance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe customisation options in this kit allow modellers to recreate the distinctive look of these rockets and pods for a historically accurate display.
