Thanks everyone,
                        besides the Bv 141 nose and Me110 tail the rest is plastic card with a section of long range fuel tank to get that nice curve underneath and the '110  nacelle cut and shut to form a new engine cover .i hadnt quite noticed before but yes i does look 'hueyish'.glad you all like it,it realy was a tun 'o fun to bolt together Steve.

Very nice sir! I, and the seven billion spiders who seem to infest my house salute you! (obviously, having eight legs, the spiders do this much more impressivly than I could ever hope to...)

Not a fan of aircraft of the rotary persuasion (so unnatural!) but I like you Flettner very much - well done.  Don't agree with the Huey look some think it has - to me it's definately more Blackhawk ('Schwarzerauchan').

One question - what is there to counter the rotor torque?  I don't see a til rotor or equivalent and it isn't contra-rotating.  Sorry to nitpick.

Regards,

Intermeshed rotors Greg, took me a little while to work that one out too!

[GTX]

DoH!

I guess the manufacturer should have given that away.

To be honest it isn't apparent on the photo in this thread, they do look like they're on a single shaft.  The penny dropped when I looked at the GB thread!

Beautiful and utterly imaginative.

That thing is as ugly as a mud fence.  It's perfect!
