WIP Dauphin Eurocopter

Post by Jolly Roger » Tue Dec 01, 2009 7:08 pm

yes I' gonna go ahead and see what I can do with this interesting, off scaled PTE ARH.

what do you guys think?

Mod list to include..

-more accurate landing Gear ( Although some Landing skids would be cool, as on some of the non-coastal platforms used.

- Side winch, for rescues.

- lower equipment bars

- More antenna


what do you guys think? do-able?

Looks much better, I passed on these when I first saw them. Now you have me giving it a second thought.

Not entirely sure what the deal is with this one, but the PTE blackhawk looks like it has an ok forward fuselage section but stubby rear section/tail. It's alot of plastic surgery but maybe cut the tail and fabricate a spacer to add some length to it

I forget the exact scale (1:20something), but it's designed to work with 1:18 figures.

I think that I could work with this.

If I could have a size comparison to go off of.

Rocket pods should not be a biggie either.
