PTE Z-9 Rocket Copter WIP

[Fled74]

I posted this WIP pic last week:

Did quite a bit more work on it over the weekend.
Airbrushed with a mix of Tamiya Olive Drab and bit of Khaki Drab, then clearcoated.

Still not sure about the armament. Here are the anti-tank missile tubes it came with.

M260 FFAR pod from the PTE AH-6 (needs more work).

AIM-9 Sidewinder heatseekers from the PTE A-10. Unlikely for a ground-attack helo, but it's nice to know they fit (as do the A-10's AGM-65 Mavericks).

Overhead view showing the experimental loadout.

I also made the landing gear removable for in-flight pics.
The chopper still needs markings, and a little weathering (and maybe a couple of door guns).

Damn, I really regret not buying this before Toy Zam closed.

Yeah, I had to have this shipped from China (Melvin hooked me up).

Paint looks great so far...I like the look of the sidewinders, realistic or not...

Tell that to the Whiskey and Zulu Super Cobras that have wing tip rails for Sidewinders, and the Delta Apache and Kiowa Warriors, that are air-to-air Stinger capable.

Yeah, I was thinking about that last night. I might just extend the winglets/pylons and add another inboard hardpoint on each side.

Love it so far, she looks mean!
Lucky you got it with the weapons also.
I had to make my own for my chopper. . .

Hate that the damn chopper here comes sans armaments.. another example of the ChiCom's disarming Americans

 

[Mswi]
