As often the case, this is from what I've started, but not finished.
Firstly, there was(is?) a 1/72 Osprey from Ertl. Mine may become an
aerial
hunter-killer ala Terminator; the wing root is ok. So, a bit big, but if
you populate the cockpit with more than two cramped crew, would work.
The 1/72 F117 Nitehawk, with clipped wings, would make a great drop
ship,
though you might wish to add something to the under belly. (Hmm... I
guess
that's OT)
I think the 1/144 Hind is a bit small, at least, thin-bodied, but I
crammed
some EE(tm) figs into a 1/72 that didn't look half bad, so consider it a
possibility, though the squat pilot had his legs snipped to get in the
cockpit, which was sliced from a bubble to a wind screen. I think the
Havoc
and Apache would look small, but if your VTOL is flying above, with a
small
pilot, you can afford to mix scales a bit. Ask Colonel Tremordan.
