Atlas XH-1 Alpha, or "let's repackage an Alouette III into an attack helicopter since we can't get one on the open market due to sanctions". Repackaging a Puma led to the Denel Rooivalk.

That's certainly first and a unique model!

And the more physically similar atlas oryx (I might try my hand at making one from Bruno's puma soon

)

Loving the african helis! Even if they aren't always the most original

was it so obvious?
Here is the finished model. (not too detailed since I did not find any 3-view).

Ugly duckling yet sort of cute and appealing.

I guess it's the nose that makes it "cute".

and here the helicopter on which the Alpha was based.

Waiting for your new list Bruno....many model test-builds you have shown here that are still not published....So I guess a new list is about to show up soon.

Meanwhile the allignment on the cockpit of the Allouete III, is remarkable. I did your 1/300 model and it was one of the smallest models I did....I think I will do this in 1/144 only

Another muilti-livery classic!

Yeah - just in time for the retirement of the Austrian Allouete III !
