DragonHawk VTOL & Rattlesnake L.A.N.G. for 1:12 (6"/15cm) figures

As a thank you for your support, I'm including another model to this!!!! It will be permanently available with the DragonHawk. This helicopter model alone is available at: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/rattlesnake-l-a-n-g-for-1-12-6-15cm-figures Both are very large models, about 758x374mm. They are not really toys, they're more like model kits. In scale for GI Joe Classified line (and other 1:12 figures, like Marvel Legends with regular size body) DragonHawk: Created this vehicle as homage to my favorite GI Joe a Real American Hero vehicle, the Skyhawk. It also took inspiration from the Joe's Dragonfly and Star Wars. The original Skyhawk was a bit small, this one is proportionally bigger. In "real life" this aircraft would be around 9 meters long (AH-64 Apache is about 2 times longer). Decided to make it bigger to make it proportional to a real life vehicle. It carries a pilot and gunner. The canopy is articulated, missiles are removable, one front articulated minigun, 2 retractable articulated side miniguns, 2 articulated turbines for "vertical take off and landing". Rattlesnake L.A.N.G (Light Attack and Neutralizer Gunship): Inspired in the Cobra F.A.N.G., this helicopter is even bigger than the DragonHawk, about 870mm lengthwise (but thinner). I would like to design a Cobra Rattlesnake inspired vehicle, but an airplane with a gunner in the back would be too big in this scale, so I made the F.A.N.G. with 2 seats (front seat slides back, making easier to place action figures inside). Tried to make the tail resembling a rattlesnake's rattle and the front guns like a cobra's tongue and fangs. Due to the COVID I wasn't able to get the materials I'd like to use in this model. Paints and supplies aren't readily available and I need to import them. These models take several days to print, paint and assemble. If you're going to embark in this journey, be ready to spend a lot of time. I recommend some experience in building and painting model kits, but everyone with some 3D printing knowledge can assemble this thing. Requires glue, a few o-rings, acrylic/plexiglass/acetate for the windows, M4 screws and (nyloc) nuts. These are base model. As time goes one, I plan to create upgrades and detailed panels to be glued over the assembled models. A very detailed assembly manual with parts and materials is included (for both models). Support will be provided through messages.
