i have seen people do that with the trumpeter jets. from what i remember it take some fiddleing to mod the cockpit to get a joe in there but nothing super crazy. it looks great in the end but the price of their models can be up there!
I hadn't thought of making a stand! My Apache landing gear has suffered some sag over the years also. Now that you've mentioned the 1:32 scale jets (which I think the Skystriker was originally modelled from a 1:32 scale jet), I think I'll make that Trumpeter Hind a custom project of mine this summer. I customized one of those Elite Force Hinds (moved the wings up & new paint job), but I would love to have a 2 seater Hind for my Oktober guard. Would probably have to gut the console seats and go plain like the Dragonfly or Toys R Us Apache, but that's the difference between models and toys!
