Alvis 3.1 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) OK, so can we finally get back on the subject? I was thinking about doing a Canadian AH-64D Longbow. Maybe in a three tone camocolor. Light green, dark green, and maybe black. RYAN. Are there any unique Canadian Mods you'd visualise on the Apache? Other than the beer cooler, hockey stick carrier, and the toque racks, of course. B) Alvis 3.1 *argh..typo city! Edited March 26, 2009 by Alvis 3.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nah, that was pretty much it. Although, I do intend to put in a cup holder or two and a flip down t.v. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C-130CrewChief Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Think any of you can do a picture of a CH-53E looking like a Pave Low? Nose and all. I was thinking of building a "what if the Osprey fails" project and would like to see what it would look like. Having no computer art skills I thought I would ask here.

djeeper Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Found this one on the hyperscale forum: search for Oeffag Apache. Check out the powerplant! Edit: pic attached no problem this morning. Edited April 1, 2009 by djeeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Djeeper, Are you trying to use the photo attachment function on the reply page? If so, it was disabled a few years ago due to hacker attacks. You'll need to upload the pic to a photo hosting site like Photobucket in order to post it to the forum. HTH, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kestrell Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hi guys, I've recently given an AH-1 Super Cobra a serious facelift, and named it the AH-1D "Diamondback". I'm rather tempted to build it aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kestrell Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well, this is the helo what-if thread and not the realist/rivet-counter thread, and therefore anything goes. Cant wait to start "chopping". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 this is the helo what-if thread and not the realist/rivet-counter thread, <...> I'm pretty sure Tank's "wrong on so many levels" comment meant that conversions like these shouldn't be done to Cobras. The Cobra's "Awesomeness" can't possibly be improved upon! Unless you turned it into a Hind, that is. ;) :( I kinda like your concept, although I'd be interested to know what it looks like with the original skids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least the changes were inpired by other US gunships, such as the Cheyenne's canopy, Apache's main and tail rotor, landing gear and the Longbow radar. Anyway, here's one with skids.

markm1245 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 The skid version is awesome!! :lol: Those old Army folks are somewhat stuck on the 60's design and have no vision on future combat aircraft. J/K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well first, it's a joke......second, your taking the pure beauty of the Cobra and hitting it with the ugly stick aka "Apache". That's just not right. Third, it's the pure Marine Cobra "Awesomeness" that is just better than that thing even it's momma doesn't even like. I mean it's like the Cobra went out drinking while in port and caught 'something' that they won't let you back into the country with. Well .... I guess that means I ain't really joking....or am I.

Kestrell Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 What a discussion . Dont worry guys, I love the Cobra family, and they are the pioneers of all gunships. What-if's is all about letting the imagination run wild, and expressing it. The Diamondback is probably not one of the most elegant-looking machine, but being "ugly" is the business of gunships.

richter111 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I am wondering if some kind of heavy helo, with dozens of mini guns mounted on both sides, to be used as an aerial gun platform, firepower support etc. Kinda a AC-130 with rotors Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Fellas.... Cobrahistorian and I have been brainstorming a next gen AH-1 off and on for a while now. Stay tuned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kestrell Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 A new generation Cobra sounds interesting. Cobrahistorian, what I actually meant with the Cobra being the pioneer, is the slender fuselage configuration with stub-wings I agree though that the Huey was the first gunship. I'm a big fan of the Rooivalk and I've drawn up some artwork of the prototype XDM and what it might have looked like if it was pushed into service earlier. By that I mean in the Angolan Bush-war. I used the old SAAF Puma colour scheme. and added a few kill markings aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 ^ I always thought the Rooivalk prototype looked better than the production machine. Cobrahistorian and I have been brainstorming a next gen AH-1 off and on for a while now. Stay tuned. :P SUSPENSE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Nice work Kestrell! The Diamondback on wheels reminds me of an Mi-28 at first glance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
