This is a model edit of the Gyrocopter_v1 model. This has only been tested in WarCraft 3 The Frozen Throne 1.21b. I made this model just for fun and I have even imagined it's history. Give credits if used and do not distribute it without my permission.

It's history can be traced back to DF-17 "Gyrocopter." The DF-17 was perhaps the first dwarven flying machine to be mounted with weapons. It used the famous N-7 engine. This aircraft was earlier used for scouting and attacking enemy flyers especially during the fall of Lordaeron and the battle of Mt. Hyjal. Many flaws were exposed by then, major flaws being slow speed so as to maintain height, loud engine noise, wastage of fuel, bad manoeuvrability, etc. The dwarves started experimenting with it although they would be private experiments. The experimental flying machines DF-18, DF-19, DF-20, DF-21, DF-22, and DF-23 failed. At that point, the humans and dwarves settled at Theramoore Island where the dwarves experimented and formed a double engine, double winged flyer, the DF-24. Some of the dwarves who went back to Lordaeron took some of the DF-24s with them.
Back on Theramoore Isle, the DF-25 was made with rotatable wings. The famous DF-26 was then made with rotatable wings, improved aerodynamics and a much more fuel conserving engine. The fuel conservation allowed longer flight time per flight and reduced smoke trails. The dwarves were content till the goblins announced a fighter plane that would be available in market after 2 months. This made the dwarves start experimenting even more so as to maintain their grip on the market. All their experiments up to DF-35 failed. However the DF-35 "Hawk" was a great success. It had 2 rotatable wings, 1 engine per wing, a more streamlined body, 2 rocket-and-missile launchers per wing, longer wingspan, and better manoeuvrability. The engines used were a very much improved kind of the N-7 engines, the N-7X. This engine has lesser fuel costs, more fuel efficiency, higher RPM, and a lower engine note.

Yes, never judge my models just from screenshots. I'm very bad at screenshots.

Texture is a little big

Black and green blur, and yellow lighting design are not available in WC3. This is the reason why I was forced to use a custom texture. And you must admit that yellow blades and white blur just don't fit a flying machine. The texture was compressed at 50% so I don't think it is too big.
EDIT: Updated model to v1.2

you should've used geoset animations for that...

In Geoset anims, there is no way to define the green boundary of the blade. and anyway, the texture's only 78kb.

And I am 100% sure he cant do what he wants without those. Ever worked with blend, team color and such? He wanted front part to be teamcolor, which is not possible with the normal texture. Besides, 78kb is quite tiny.

Need H2O2(Hydrogen Peroxide), 70-80% is not what I like. It is okay if you're making a WC3 model based on a model in a game with better graphics, but when you're making a model which is based on a WC3 model, only 100% is okay.

I made the missile launchers like that to eliminate the need of a Stand-Ready animation. And it looked very odd when the missiles turned to face forward in less than a second so I decided that the launchers should face forward all the time. It is as if while turning the wings, the pilot turned the launchers too.
The texture was...um well... unavoidably stretched. Yeah, it doesn't look so good.
Thank You!

78kb is by no means a large skin. Even if there's a hundred instances of it, it's only using 780kb of memory. If that is really taxing on your computer, then something is wrong.
Great model! I hope to use it at some point. (all due credit will be given)

Would really love to see a landing animation.
That would take the cake.
Until then, 4/5.
