you can also go to the shop and make your own choice : actually the matching of scales and sizes is at the basis of such an hybrid, and requires some preparation work.

excellent idea! (all the more that I didn't have it  )
I want to see it!

helicopters are probably a good source of crossings : the banana come of course to mind, there have been car/helicopter trials, and recently I stumbled upon a picture of a hippo with chopper propeller on top ...

and about elephants, they even exist in 1/72, for scale accuracy, and injection plastic  (Zvevda or HAT)
