I was completely puzzled: "what is this?" :unsure: <_<
Then I saw the title: "Osprey & Mi-17 & Skytrain", and I understand better, thanks. Weird! What a mix! :thumbsup:

Looks deceivingly like a cross between Aérospatiale Puma and a Sea King :thumbsup:

Looks great,  I wonder why you didn't use the Osprey cockpit?

good question  ;) the kit I had was cheap, because it lacked the transparent parts ...
therefore I had to be inventive w.r.t. having a nose and cockpit
the rest of the Skytrain was used ealier, with the nose of a XB-70,
the rest of which had been used earlier ...

Wow! That really works!
Looks like it could have been a “JollyGreen Giant” for the USAF, if it were green of course. Keep these wonderful ideas coming!

Wonderfully crazy! :wub:
My favorite points are the contrast between sharp nose and old radial engines, and the gull wing that goes near the ground but safely! :thumbsup: :bow:

Truly mental, disturbingly plausible as some 1960s idiot superpower experimental type or other.

Tophe's twin-boom wins extra kudos on both counts.
