Its a customized vintage Tomahawk. Take a look at the rear fan port. That has been plugged. The windows are custom and the gunport on the side has been cut out. You can also see that the engine covers are the same and the blades are a dead giveaway.

It looks like a modded Chap Mei helicopter (it's sold in the US under different brand names, can't remember what they are right now) to me. It's pretty small and short, although it isn't evident in that picture because of the angle.
EDIT: actually, now that I look at the pic again, it looks like Buzzeta's right. It's more likely a modded vintage Tomahawk, with the fuselage siding with the window ports scratch-built from styrene. Last edited by zuludelta; 03-07-2010 at 08:21 PM.. |

Looks like a customized Tomahawk. Notice how the rivets on the tail form a half circle and how the side with the three holes in it has no rivets even though the rest of the ship does? Looks like those areas got a new wall. Also the engine covers by both rotors are definately from the Tomahawk
EDIT: seems me and Buzzeta noticed the same things |

It is a custom Tomahawk. There's a pseudo how-to out there, if you know where to look
