The Mil V-12  Homer is the largest helicopter to have flown so far.
Kamov had two design developments known as the Ka-34 and Ka-35. Not to be confused with the modern helicopters with the same designation.
Amodel has released a 1/72 Mil V-12 Homer which sells at around $300 making it a bit pricey for me, which is why I have chosen to use the Revell 1/72 Airbus A400M Grizzly. Looks as though I have bought two of these but I have used some parts for other builds on one.
Raiding the spares box should throw up the necessary parts for the build. Two rotor stacks sit on the wings with a pair of engines from a B-52 under each wing.

Go one step beyond and make a tri-rotor like the Cierva Air Horse.

A Rotodyne fuselage might do for the Cierva one.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Got the Revell Rotodyne in the stash and I also found a fuselage of a Chinook
