Nice one Rowdy, never been a big fan of helicopters in general (there's something disconcerting about an aircraft where the wings move faster than the fuselage) but that is a good-looking bird

Fantastic designs Rowdy mate, but just one question if I may. Should the navalised version not have a wheeled undercarriage? |

Very nice work, another highly realistic design. Reminds me of the newer Bell models that are coming out these days. |

Thanks everyone.
just one question if I may. Should the navalised version not have a wheeled undercarriage? I see where you're coming from, but it doesn't seem to be as common for helicopters in this size/weight class to switch to wheels over skids.

That's one mean-looking and well-equipped attack plane, very nice work (as well as the Woma)!

Wow, these are truly fantastic! I love the lo-viz sharkmouth scheme.

I agree with Obsydian Shade, reminds me of argentines Pucará. I like it, but I´m not sure about certain features... _ IMHO I think that it don´t need such a complex radar for its intended tasks... A much simpler, lighter and cheaper one, or even without one, still can do the jobs... _ I´m worried about NLG wheel well size and/or location, as the targeting system seems to left no much room for it… _ The wing inner hardpoint (the strongest and the one with more load carrying capacity) is behind propeller disc area, preventing use of forward firing weapons like some missiles, rockets or gun pods (and also the outer one seems “too outboard” to carry something heavier than a short range AAM) Just my thoughts... Nice drawings as always!! |

Shouldn't it have one of those ball gimbol things on it? FLIR and assorted optics? |
