Sikorksy S-61 Sea King

[dy031101]

RH-3A Sea King minesweeping variant.  'Said to be underpowered but an interim anyway.

Air Vectors claims that Sikorsky thought up an ultimately-unbuilt three-engine Sea King variant.  Or would a notional "RH-3H" be adequately powered, too?

Bump !  After seeing the new 35th Tahoe kit from ICM, it strikes me that the problem with all chopper kits is the size required to display them due to the main rotor.

So I thought to do away with the rotors & substitute variable position jets ala Harrier ....
I have an old Revell CH-54 & the engines always disappointed so maybe if I add the engine section of a 48th Harrier

I would rather see you kit bash a V-22 Osprey with the CH-54.  That would get rid of the ugly arrangement of the engines/transmission and drive train to the tail rotor.  Replace the tail rotor and tail with the twin tail from the V-22.  Still have an ugly aircraft but the performance might be a little better

That could prove interesting

V-22 fuselage to just aft of the electronics bay behind the cockpit, then a cleaned-up clpseput amd a bppm mating with the standard V-22 wing and extending back to pick up the tail surfaces.  Landing gear would be similar to that of the Tahoe, again off the boom to the tail.  overall design would have to take into account the large ring for the stowage of the wing.
