[LDD] Light Attack Aircraft

[Tim_AZ]

I was searching for something totally unrelated and stumbled across an old picture of a Russian concept for a light attack aircraft that had both propeller and turbine thrust and was designed for short take offs on rough fields. It looked like a fun project to make in Lego so I fired up LDD. Oddly the more I played with it the more my model took on the look of a Stuka so I colored it appropriately. I need to do something with the main gear so they will stay retracted but otherwise I'm pleased with the outcome. Now to decided if I want to build it.

That is fantastic. I would buy that as a set!

Your model has a great shape, nice touch with the tailguns too. ....but that yellow front section and propeller look terribly out of place.

The original looks like the front of a helicopter, Cobra maybe, with airplane bits tacked on. What a strange aircraft.

What is the original aircraft this is based on? It looks like someone took a gunship body and added wings and propeller to it. So strange.
