That's nice, I'd heard about the Macedonian attempt to by Lancers good to see it rendered in plastic.  Certainly looks like a Macedonian Air Froce machine, they all carry similar camouflage colours, but the specific colours & patterns vary widely between types.

Macedonian roundels are fantastic, unusual & bright in this age of lo-viz.  Hard to come by too, I've been thinking about getting some but not quite sure what to put them on.  There have been a lot rumours about equipment Macedonia might have acquired.  Plenty of whiff material to be found on the MAF Wiki entry, might be worth putting one of those to plastic.
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.

It would be the cheapest attack plane in the world - it'd never have to drop a bomb, or fire a gun, it'd just scare your enemies to death!! :bow: :bow:

my only grudge with the A-24D is that he didn't do anything about the turboshaft engines - they're still mounted in place and there's no rotors for them to operate.  IMO he should have done Something to account for them, be it turning them into thrust engines, or what have you.

Still, it's mad as a box of frogs, and I very much like the overall idea.

It's probably a generator for whatever other guns are stashed inside!  I dunno, ...rotary explosive sheep launcher, chocolate seeking, precision - guided grannies, whatever!  I tried my hardest to fault it for that too....but....I...just...can't...do....it! - it's too cool!!

Perhaps they're the APU for powering the enormous electronic attack suite? Or the death ray.... :wacko:

I'd rather they kept the rotor, and made it a VTOL hybrid helicopter/fixed-wing design... or a VTO design where the rotor blades fold backward for transition for horizontal flight.

I too think the rotor mechanisms are under-utilized, but my major complaint regarding this one is that it's under-armed.  Maybe I've been spoiled by machines like Eddie's SuperHog or sotoolslinger's SuperChopper, but for an aircraft built from these two monsters to only sport two rocket pods and three missiles is, well, uninspired.  zzzzzzzi grant points for the originality of the idea, but take them away for squandering the potential of the project.

Maybe to power the home entertainment system inside the troop compartment for the 6 troops inside to watch t.v., surf the web, etc. before the A-24 does a landing on a rough landing field to deploy them.

This model is very epic!!! :o :o :o :wacko: :thumbsup:

Like the sheer madness of the Warthind, but it gives me an idea for something more subtle. It should be possible to graft the Hind's double-bubble canopy onto the A-10 forward fuselage, particularly if an N/AW-10 is used. You could then replace the gun with the Hind-E's GSh-30-2 mounted on the side of the forward fuselage, just as in the helo.
