Nice!

The extra blades look good and I love the little tail - probably as effective as the one on the real thing.

 I am pretty satisfied with the props-it was an easier job than I feared. The tail is the kit part bisected lengthwise (it's basically a plank) with the top reversed and slide back to accommodate the bustle and form that neat little v at the bottom. The fins are from the old Testors Stealth. The whole thing is purely for stability (I didn't feel like scribing control surfaces.  )

All of this time I had thought that your turret would be rotating but now that I see the finished model I better understand what you had intended.  Fixed turret/casemate and a weapon mounted on top that rotates freely.  Makes more sense now and with the additional propeller/rotor blades as Frank mentioned looks really good and more convincing.

Brilliant piece of imagineering. Fixed armament seems logical to me easier to aim. Like it

Great finish, Doc!

Looks great and ready to take on the atomic battlefield!

Thanks everybody! I did a minimalist back story that appears in the completed thread.
