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 ...)

Beautifully convincing!  :thumbsup:

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

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! :thumbsup:

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

Good one Eric. :thumbsup:

And Tophe, loving the PAL38 Autogiro.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

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:
