I see a bit of the OV-10 in this.

 :thumbsup:

Well done!
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Thanks lads  ;D
Im still getting the plans for the big build in my head and so far its all good ,,,ill get bored at some point and start looking over the Italeri V-22 and start taking some measurements  :wacko:
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 .

XV-3 style with just the rotors and rotor shaft pivoting.

Thanks for the extra pics. The last one with the double exhaust pipes makes it look like a twin engine in each pod like the British Mamba.

Well done, which reminds me of the kitbash using the 1/72 Boeing V-22 Osprey with the Airfix Fairey Rotodyne with the cockpit from the Airfix Mil-24D..

Very nice ! I agree with the guys about the sleek Osprey vs. H-60 look.

So the next iteration will be a 1/35 fuselage with 1/48 wing and engines ?
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!

Ken mate that back end is just one of those "needs something else " deals ...slap some bits on and see what happens..I like how they turned out 😊

Thanks Cap'n 😀
Yup that's exactly what the next iteration will be for sure but I'm gonna scale the 48th parts up for a better fit with 35th ..like widen the main wing and bulk up the engine pods..lengthening the rotor/ propellers is a must too. ;D
One of the big differences between the two of these is the 48th is a SH-60 Seahawk and the 35th ain't 😆
It's a special forces version with a normal tail wheel
Armaments will be interesting as the load out will be quite different from the normal ones.
