28mm Container VTOL

Have finished the Container VTOL for 28mm.

FAN Version


Will be sold in packs of 1, with a single 15x5x5 container for £16.00 GBP.
Body Length: 24cm
Width: 14cm plus 5.5cm for each fan pod [wing span: 25cm].
Height: 10cm (slightly higher is fans facing forward).

Note had to make Fans housing 12 sided as could not do as pure circle.

Tried to do picture with pods blu-taced on but were too heavy for the power of blu-tac.

HELI Version

They're looking interesting! I'm thinking hell transport for my SSu force in DUST TACTICS!

When will they be on the web shop?
