something even easier to do is to look up the kit you want from the list and get the kit number/maker and write them down easier than carrying around a load of scaned box art
and it will also mean you get the actual kit you want as you dad can just go in and give the shop the list they should have no probs with that

AV-8B Harrier II

Revell-Monogram 1/48 scale are very nice renditions of these two kits.

Quoted Text

RAH-66 Comanche
No matter which box or scale (1/72 or 1/48) they are all the Italeri kit inside.

Quoted Text

Humvee with mounted MG
Humvee with TOW
New Tamiya HMMWV is the way to go, but I don't really think there's anything wrong with the old Academy HMMWVs. Buy the Academy M966 TOW carrier, it contains all the parts to make the Academy M1025 machine gun armed variant but includes a driver and passenger figure as well as the TOW stuff for the same price.

Quoted Text

M2A3 Bradley
No kit available of this variant of the Brad.

Quoted Text

T-72 Russian Tank
Would go with the Tamiya kit here. I have a pile of DML T-72 variants that aren't nearly as good.

Are the M2A2 Bradley and M2A3 Bradley almost the same in structure? I haven't seen any differences in their construction. Also, does the kit contains a figure with those you mentioned?
