Here is the VTOL to go along with my earth force grav tanks.
It could be used as a drop ship but I think it may be to small.


Although it could carry a small squad

Yea, too small for a dropship, other than for perhaps a small team of special forces troops.

A nice size for a hunter-killer vehicle though.

Love the shape of the jet engines.

Where did you get those?

VERY cool!

Dowvoovoo66 Inactive Member24 Jun 2012 5:36 p.m. PST

That is top notch!

Well done – very cool!

OK. You have got to start making masters for resin makers like Combat Wombat or Khurasan, OK?!!evil grin

Thanks guys, the engines are from 144th scale model airliners like Hasegawa kits

Nice work!

AVAMANGO24 Jun 2012 9:29 p.m. PST

Slick stuff…

Nice work, it could function like a Hind as an attack VTOL with a troop carrying capacity of 6 men.

Mako11 Supporting Member of TMP25 Jun 2012 12:08 a.m. PST

Thanks for the info on the engines.

commanderroj25 Jun 2012 1:54 a.m. PST

I'd go as far as to say that is the best V/TOL bar none that i have seen in this scale. Cudos to Kurakarl!

SirFjodin25 Jun 2012 3:52 a.m. PST

May I borrow this camouflage?

pzivh43 Supporting Member of TMP25 Jun 2012 4:20 a.m. PST

Me, too. Neat camo scheme!

So this is called a "Dart Frog" right? 'Cause that's what the paintjob is telling me.

Why is it that you are not building masters for production and sale?

These vehicles you have features are every bit as good as anything else out there.

Thanks for all the great comments guys

"Why is it that you are not building masters for production and sale?"
Mostly time and money, but I'am looking into it every chance I get
Thanks again

If anything, you might be able to sell designs to other manufacturers.

kurakarl Inactive Member26 Jun 2012 7:19 a.m. PST

New to this end of the business, how would that work?
Are we talking masters?

Mako11 Supporting Member of TMP26 Jun 2012 8:10 a.m. PST

You'd probably be better off, financially, getting someone to produce them for you, and either selling them yourself, and/or having your casting company do that for you.

I suspect Combat Wombat, Old Glory, QRF, and/or some other companies might consider doing that for you.

…we might :-)
