Like the Scion and Sahara, this is a web exclusive. Is it Argent fins on a 2.5" x 40" body + nose? Hard to tell from the pictures.

I'm thinking it looks a little familiar.

Based on the picture of the parts, I'd guess that it's the lower half of an Argent with a 2.5" nose cone on top.

Is that one stretched at all, or does it use just the Argent tubes? I've been planning to kitbash one of those out of an Argent and Ventris, but was going to add the Ventris payload section to lengthen it a bit.

Argent has a 2.5 to 2 inch transition for the upper section. This looks like Argent fins on 2/3 of a Partizon. Actually I might need one of these for a particular project.

Just a tad! What's the length of your bash?

Off hand, I don't recall. Two thirds of a Partizon worked out to within fractions of an inch of a proper upscale.

The Argent fins are only kinda Cherokee-ish, but Gordy was able to deliver a tweaked set.
