This site has plans for a R.C Herc', I guess it could be adapted I suppose?

Yeah, but they're too realistic IMO.
I'm now leaning toward this, looks to be the best scale match.
Dimension: 25x26.7x9.8 inches (LxWxH)
I just wish I knew the width of the fuselage. Will it hold the

Jeep?

Pretty sure not - its the same / very similar to one they had a few years ago and we had one on display in the shop. Its wide enough for a few seats for the figures - I dont think the panther would fit never mind the z jeep...

So, back to maybe taking the wings and tail pieces and modding them to the Chap Mei Chinook?

I still like the idea of two chinooks stuck together lengthways but I think that was poo pood.

I think wings would be the problem with that- i think the search goes on...

Wings? Sorry, I thought you meant as an extended helicopter.
Well if we can find a workable pair of wings and a tail, I think it'll work in either instance.
(Sigh) Why does no-one sell the Chap Mei Osprey?

If that Playmobil plane was painted red, it would look a lot like the

transport from this I think...
