Sci-fi analogue to the MH/AH-6 “Little Bird” helicopters. Runs on a sci-fi engine that cancels out needing fuel tanks, though the engine itself is heavier than just a normal gas turbine engine.  
Work in progress but after a couple days of tinkering have the general setup good to go. Just need to add some more cockpit details, varying weapon loadouts and such.

Just a suggestion, it would look better on the screenshot if you use a lighter colour environment, since most of the body is also black. That way it would be easier to see the lines of the body.

Great work!

Thanks, I’ll try one of the lighter environments on the next go around of update pictures
