Does anyone know if 1/72 JATO bottles are available?  I'm thinking it might be interesting to do an operational C-129 (C-117 with a large parachute and lots of JATO bottles for getting into and out of small, unimproved airstrips).  I'm thinking one in Vietnam camo for recovring downed airmen could be striking - perhaps escorted by an AC-117?

ESCI offered a 1/72nd scale R4D-5 fitted with skis and RATO/JATO units that were mounted under the fuselage on a rack.
