Warthog Helo

[John Howling Mouse]

I butchered this 1:48 Monogram kit for my Tucara build, among other things.

I admit I've had some caffeine today, too.

Anyhow, this bit of a leftover husk is whispering to me, Eddie-style: "Turn me into an attack helo."

[Radish]

Add wings, and a rear prop and do it Luftwaffe '46
.......or
How about a one man sub with a rotor at the back.....
........or
add wheels and a big engine for a Hot Rod
......or
well.....run out of ideas at the moment.
Sorry.

Heed well those voices, Mr Howling Mouse, for they will lead you down the road to Whiff Greatness!

I agree. That hulk is just screaming to be an attack helo!

Stick on 1/72nd scale Osprey wings and rotors....

Try beer instead of coffee for some 'real' inspiration.

Or any type of alcohol.



Sounds like a great idea, baz !

And verily did the Lord spaketh unto St. Mouse saying 'if thou wouldst truly be a loon as the Most Venerated St Alvis, thou needst to slap a jigger on the back & maketh a minisub outta this wee beastie!'

Maybe graft it to the nose of the Italeri 1/48 AH-1Z Viper??? I think an Apache front end would be too clunky

[B777LR]

Do it russian style  Do it Kamov style  Do it with no tailrotor  do it with 2 main rotors  Do it vith tons of armour (like kamov)

Stick on 1/72nd scale Osprey wings and rotors....

Ya know Baz, I have a set of these going spare............

Sounds killer dude! Go for it! GO FOR IT!!!

Cheers,

Zac

...or warp it and go for ducted fans on the outside wings.

[Mossie]

I like the attack helo idea!  The tail boom of a Eurocopter Tiger would lend itself well, it's low & fat & Revell do one in 1/48.  A Warthog helicopter may end up looking roughly like a Sikorsky S-67???

Ducted Fans!!!

Ah, you're, too caffein addicted ? I try to stop for some weeks now    

Nothing better than a good cup of coffee to stimulate a brain...  in my case effects last 10 or 12 hours    so I avoid drinking coffee the afternoon (otherwise I just can't sleep the following night)  :dum:

I wait this helo whartog impatiently...

AH-10 sounds logical, but what name ? Thunderfan ? Fanbolt ? Fanhog ? Fanzilla ?    



JHM of Arc, insipred by the voices

And whist we're talking rotorcraft.... where's the W U H then ?
