Syma S107 with rocket pods, missiles, and under-chin gun. All armaments robbed from a tiny Apache model kit.
Landing "gear" of my own design. My backstory for this is that it's a drone, and that's why I didn't have to mask the canopy. OK, I'm just lazy.
Decals are from the kit. Note that even the LED's been olive-drabbed.

6020-1 San Huan with dual miniguns replacing the landing gear
(I'll post a tutorial on making the miniguns, if there's interest. You can even make them spin electrically). Raw photo, except I added the second 'eye' in PhotoShop.
The parts were made from tiny aluminum tubing bought at the LHS. Notice the copper 'ammo chutes" on the backs. If I hadn't been concerned about weight, I would have continued them up to the canopy.
Many more pics of the Camo'd copter:

another 6020. I was experimenting with molding parts. The lower 'gun' and "motor pods" were made from acrylic resin. I had a fair amount of distortion- the acrylic attacked the molds, so only two sets of these parts got made. Ugly as they are, not a "bad" thing.
Try to ignore the pink paint on the screw head there...parts mix-up on the bench, and again, too lazy to fix it. I really do like the look of this, I hope mfg'r's get a bit more daring this year.
Lots more snaps of this puppy here:

ZIIIIP! You are now dead. This gun's electrified, and spins anytime the tail motor does. The barrels are mounted on a spare motor shaft.
Side view. Yes, the gun's a bit on the heavy side, with the motor in it. I'm planning to put TWO of them onto one of my larger Interceptor helis, tho.

The stuff of Nightmares: Uber-tiny Black Helicopters!
Imagine waking up to find this going through your sock drawer. And it wants to finish...
Forget "All Metal", this is "All Black".
Dear China: You missed a model.

The chin gun on this one didn't come out too good, but if I don't point that out...darn. Check out my checkered side plates. Pink is good, if it's on a gun.
If Pinky Tuscadero had a helicopter, it would likely look like this, right down to the miniguns.

Google Me...I make BIG miniguns, too.
