This was my first
attempt at scratchbuilding. I wanted to design a very maneuverable craft,
intended for low level ambush tactics primarily against soft to medium armored
targets. I got a little inspiration from the AH1 and other attack choppers but
it was mostly a conceptual design.

I started out with
the cockpit and main fuselage, using sheet styrene and printed templates from
the drawing I had done on AutoCAD.
After that I made the detailed
parts (Engines/mechanics) using bits and pieces from anything I could find.
Raided a lot of electronics and old kits...

The final step was painting,
decaling and weathering (liked this part the most). I had intended the craft to
be in pretty bad shape, so this worked out quite nicely...
