Hi there, Gil!
"Futuristic helicopters", or as I call them, "AtkCrafts", have always been
some of my favorites. I based this model on my never-released Berinacie
AtkCraft.
Hahahahahahaha!! Flying stick! Very nice. Yep, it did that job quite nicely,
and my brother got lots of laughs by flipping it all the way down and
calling it a dolphin!
As for if the canopy's hinged, I'm afraid I have to answer "no". HOWEVER!
Your idea with the whole nose section flipping forward's a new one to me,
and I already think I can figure out how to do it! I'll do my best to add
both that and a cockpit-modularity. That way there's another hardpoint! The
cockpit one. Need a gunner? No problem. Just take off the normal one install
the 2 person cockpit.
Thanks for the compliments,
--
