OV-10 Bronco Helijet Query

[Cobra]

Hey Guys,i was just doing a little Thinking when a question came to me:Would the OV-10 Bronco or Atleast it's Front work for Building a Helijet? it's Something i've Wondered about. What Say You? Thanks for looking. Dan

Are you thinking of using the OV-10 fuselage as is and adding a Osprey type engine set up? I think that could be doable. Cockpit section would lend itself to many uses. Perhaps a main rotor above the fuselage/wing junction?

I'm Considering using the Front,and Mating it to maybe a Box like Frame or Possibly use the Body from a UH-1 or CH-47 and Add some Scratch Built Mounts for the Engines. Haven't Come up with a Name or Color Scheme Yet. Dan

My take on a Bronco type Heli-attacker.

I love the idea of Helijets and have a few ideas on the backburner.....a Blackhawk mated with an F-4, that HO4S concoction I drew up recently, as well as an H-34 double ended troop ferry thing....

I've been toying with the idea of splicing Osprey engines onto the wingtips of an FW189.
Or maybe pivoting ducted fans.
