Annotations

This is the first helicopter I made in SP. It isn't perfect, I know, but it has a special designed fuselage, cockpit an weapon system that makes it worthy to upload.

As you can see, it looks like the form of an apache, with the tail of an Eurocopter Tiger and a cockpit similar to actual russian helicopters.

I chose the name "Thundercopter" because it sounds cool to me, XD.
