Whirlybirds, Dynes, V/STOL or STOL builds

[McColm]

I'm including any Helicopters, Heliplanes,V/STOL or STOL builds that I haven't mentioned or covered yet.
A few have appeared on GB sites but it would be great to see them again all together in one place.
To be continued..

 Although Lockheed had successfully landed and taken off from the USS Forestal using a
 C-130F during 1963, they were looking for something with  shorter wings but could carry the same payload.
SJMcColm Engineering Limited had merged the C-130K fuselage with the twin-booms twin-fins with the wings from the Fairchild C-119C , changing the radial pistons engines to a pair of turbofans of their own design.
Trials continued with USS Forestal throughout 1965, returning back to England for evaluation by the RAF. Who were impressed by the STOL capabilities and cargo weights that it could carry.
A worthy rival to the Amstrong Whitworth Argosy which sold well in the commercial markets with 150 examples and double the amount for military use. SJMcColm Engineering Limited called it the Harlequin, Lockheed the C-19A Harlequin after negotiating a deal with Fairchild and SJMc for the production.

The build isn't finished yet as I'm still deciding if this should be a commercial freighter or something military. The kits are in 1/72 scale.
