Absolutely awesome! Really like the paintjob and the SH-60-style tailwheel.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Nice one, Chris.  Great idea and excellent execution in plastic.  I like the camo pattern you came up with.

:thumbsup:

This is terrific.  Great idea, really well painted in an interesting/believable camo pattern, and loaded for bear.

Love it.   :thumbsup:   :wub:

Thank you everyone, I have been thinking up a back story for this wee beastie. The AH-70 is built for V-22 escort missions, as it needed to be faster than a conventional helicopter, and be armed to cope with air defence and ground suppression.
Cheers,

It definately looks the part & the camo pattern is great, ideally suited for urban ops & maximum collateral damage!  Taking that & a highly modified aircraft, you could fit into a Team America backstory.....
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That looks great Chris - the cammo is particularly good - well done!  :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone, for the positive feedback on this one.It is a true resurrection of dead models this one, with some scratch built stuff in there also.
If I had some more rotor blades and Bronco wings I would make another, but this one would be an air defence version.
