Sorry to dig this one up from a long time ago, but please JHM, tell me you finished this beastie, and if so, any pics?

Wish I could tell you that it's done but it isn't. I did manage to score the additional helo kits I needed just prior to our moving month last summer....does that count?

It's good that you brought this up, though. I could use some such "filler" work while awaiting various other in-progress projects to dry.

Oh yeah , you need some inspiration to create new stuff. You effin sandbagger.

It's only a matter of time until Tanktastic digs up your "World's Ugliest Helo" thread Mr Howling Mouse...

Hear, hear! Stop farting around with all these side projects and finish the WUH!

Y'see Bazz, you created the (WUH) monster and now it's haunting you wherever you go !

Yes, oh, alright: this weekend I will pull the World's Ugliest Helo pieces out of the multiple boxes they were packed in prior to The Big Move and figure out how to finish the beastie.

I was supposed to be bodyguarding a trio of vivacious/bodacious Penthouse Pets this weekend but I'll just tell the publicist to forget it as I've got an ugly little plastic model kit to build instead!

It's good that you finally have your priorities straight.

You know, I was reading this over and I had a thought come to mind, and if I hadn't lost the main rotor I'd consider it even more, but what about the thought of a Hind donating the aft fuselage? You'd have a lot more vertical clearance to your rotors, plus space for the gun mounting, and if I recall it gets a lot more lift power out of its engines. Just a random thought, wanted to share. This is a pretty interesting concept, and curse you, I now have the idea rattling around in my head.

CURSE YOU!!!!!

Yeah, that would work. I might just end up using the tail of a Huey, extended with some illicit kitbashing.
