Looks like a fugitive from a Disney movie!  :o

At least we have a fair idea of what it is meant to be............................even if it's a very poor rendition.

This one from my stash isn't so great. Other than a black mark there's no proper side gun visible, which is good, because by the look of the forward fuselage it would shred the cowling. Which may not matter because the engine might suddenly seize from overheating since there is no radiator on the upper right side.  ;D

When I first looked at the pic I thought 'yeah OK, so a couple of things but generally not a bad drawing'.  But when you look more closely.....tiny fuselage or enormous pilot?

My first thought was "it's a bit short", but now I'm thinking "giant pilot" ?? :rolleyes:

Here's one I've just seen on line. Nothing much wrong with the art, but "Artic Cobra"?  ;D

They're so cheap that I'm almost tempted to buy one and build it with a fifth wheel and a 40ft trailer... :wacko:

Maybe the super decal sheet includes Nobert Dentresangle or Eddy Stobart livery?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Heh - you can buy ready-built Eddy Stobart truck models... :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko:

But if they're roughly 1/72nd scale, then it saves you trying to make your own Eddie Stobart decals.

I'm wondering now if the model should imply that the helicopter still flies, for maximum ridiculousness, or it should be essentially a ground-based 40-ft tractor-trailer with a Hueycobra-shaped cab.
