OK so everyone has made a helicopter out of one of these but here is mine. I had been saving one of these to turn into a gunship when I found the right parts. I was at the thrift store and they had a smaller scale Apache. It was a perfect fit.             and the WIP pic

Turned out great. Now I see what you meant about the hatch, but the wings look great where you ended up putting them. |

And what you did with the skids is pretty sweet. |

That's sharp. Would make a nice modern Dragonfly. |

Very nice finished product! Much better than I expected from the WIP pics. |

I had to beef up the skids in order to keep the missiles from dragging on the ground. Matthew wrote: That's sharp. Would make a nice modern Dragonfly. I try to only arm Cobra (and the Oktober Guard) because I figure there are plenty of stock military vehicles that would work as filler for Joe's ranks. But I did think it would make a good equal to oppose the Dragonfly. Fettmeister wrote: Very nice finished product! Much better than I expected from the WIP pics.

It came out real nice but it is one of the simplest builds I have done in the past 2 years. It is probably only a 5 or 6 hour build. The Drakes were all probably 10 hours plus. Goliath was probably 15 to 20 hours. Zombie truck probably had 30 hours give or take. So while I like it, it almost feels like a LBC due to the simplicity. LOL |

Looks great. I saw one of these the other day I never realized how big it is. Again nice work. What's the tail from? |

I like the decal, looks more like a Pegasus than a gargoyle though |

Not sure what the decal is suppose to be but gargoyle seemed most likely. It is definitely not a Pegasus. It is definitely a cat head and the tail is definitely not a horse tail. My first thought was a winged lion (which is a sucky mythological name LOL) but no mane and the tale does not have the pompom at the end. I did not find much for mythological winged cats except for the griffin but it has a bird head. Many gargoyles are winged cat shaped creatures though. |

Very cool. I agree this could make a good modern Dragonfly as well, but I think I prefer it for Cobra. |
