Commanche

That thing is awesome. I had a question about the Apache styled fixed weapons pylons. The comanche retractable ones were to help with radar signature, I looked I didn't see photos of any with the fixed style. I was just curious of your inspiration for the fixed style, maybe a design change? That thing is awesome and I would love to see it in person one day.

Thanks for all the comments! I'll translate them to my buddy. He will be glad Tomorrow I take pictures of the broadsides and the postitiv and negativ shape and post it here! He'd like to sell this fuselage in the near future. He worked hundreds of hours on this project, I can tell you! The only thing he had at the beginning was a very tiny model of the Comanche from Revell 1:72!
Here are two other pictures of the heli:

Comanche

The RAH-66 Comanche was designed with the ability to have the extened range kit, which included the hard mounted stub wings.
The wings allowed for external fuel tanks (or other armts) to meet mission requirements.
Normally when you add the wing kit you already have the internal armnt already configured so as you arrive and drop your ext tanks you can also drop your ext wings if not required or upload armts on wing kit to supplement internal stores.
It was a great aircraft....
