The only problem I can think of right now is the size..the V22 isn't that small in 72nd where as the Comache is .
Something like that anyway  ;D

Maybe something similar to these two examples? Pictures that I found on Facebook. Modelers unknown.


Lovely finds dude 👌  ;D..those are very cool but yeah things along those lines .
Actually looking at those you could still do something like that without losing your Osprey..the Osprey pictured had used most of its parts but the Cobra has used none so that might a better idea there 🤔 😉
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

The engines on the Cobra are Gundam parts.  From an add-on kit that contained strap on turboprop lift engines.
Can't remember the exact name but I bought two, have used one and have the second in the stash.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Bad news for this model project.
I misplaced or lost the entire helicopter fuselage assembly that I had put together.  :o  :banghead:
I thought I had put it back in the original kit box when I shelved the kit. But No, the fuselage is not in the original box.
I'm not sure where I put it. And I doubt I would have accidentally put it in another kit box.
I've looked all over this morning for it, but can't find it.
If I don't find that fuselage by the end of January, then count this model project as busted.  :banghead:

EDIT: FOUND IT! After more searching, it does appear I did stick it in a different model box by accident.  :o
Anyway, I'll get back to working on this model project sometime later in the Spring.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

But what is it going to be?
- in service with some Army?
- a Border Guard courier/fast response ship in some remote locations?
- Security for oil company / wind farm /solar farm?
- runabout for a Lunar colony?

It'll still be a helicopter. That's for sure. That's all I know for the moment.
