Yeah buddy! Nicely done! 

[ericr]

thanks again !

remainings of the day : a mixture of Alouette helicopter and P-38
(the latter was an old childishly built kit, so it is a buit nastily punkish ;
I think this "composition" would deserve to be re-tried from clean new kits,
even in some larger scale, someday maybe ...)

[TheChronicOne]

Glorious!!  That's fantastic, dude!   

[Tophe]

  Wonderful, yes, oh so lovely!

[steelpillow]

Beautifully convincing! 

But I'd still love to see the "heliphant" wearing that Alouette bubble helmet...

mixture of Alouette helicopter and P-38

I am currently trying to draw it: is this Alouette II or Alouette III?
Thanks again!

Well, I have drawn according to your great photograph, this is enough, thanks!
PAL-38A airplane, PAL-38G autogyro, PAL-38H helicopter:

Thanks again Ericr!

P38 Alouette is very feasible.  It's like the US wanted their own (faster) version of the FW 189.

Good one Eric.

And Tophe, loving the PAL38 Autogiro.

Ah, the very rare Abrams Explorer II. 

[ericr]

thank you Zenrat, I appreciate your appreciation
again, this build is a bit shaky, but still it came out nicely

Ah, the very rare Abrams Explorer II.

Hi Tophe.

I think the second one could be a compound helicopter too, using the engines to provide forward thrust and, also, act as anti-torque devices.

Third one may need a counter-rotating rotor system. Either coaxial like the Kamov Ka 50:



Or inter-meshing like the Focke Achgelis Fa-223:
