Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Wow! I'll have to build this.  :thumbsup:

Gosh!!  I can imagine this in West Coast US hippy paintwork.   (Well, I can imagine it but my painting/IT skills are insufficient to give it the treatment it deserves.)

The town of Beverley had   Leyland PD2 "Bridgemaster" buses with a somewhat curved roof to fit under Beverley Bar

Is there scope for a Beverley Bridgemaster  aircraft/omnibus combo?   or the Routemaster Rotodyne, perhaps?

Would one them have to have the engine(s) at the rear?  ;D

I've already been on the ol' eBay looking for 1/72 VW buses. . . .. .   ;D ;D

I'm almost tempted to sign up for FB just for these two.............................but only 'almost'.

FB can be a mixed bag- but there certainly are a ton of interesting groups on there.  You can control your involvement and anonymity- sign up but don't tell anybody, then just join the groups that interest you.  You'll have an endless supply of pictures of cool stuff!  There are a bunch of modeling groups. I joined a lot of "aviation wreck and relic" groups, etc., and have seen some pretty cool stuff.

Give that a longer tail boom and perhaps Kaman style rotors and I can see that in service and fooling people  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

PR19_Kit

With Kaman style rotors there'd be no need for a tailboom, at least not for a tail rotor anyway.

Yup, but it would still need to be a tad longer I think even if it was just to look better  ;D

And if you tarted it up a bit it'd be a Kaman Ghia...
;D

How about a rotor at each end?

- 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.
