I hope to add a few pictures of a 1/144 scale model, as soon as I can figure out how to get the rotor to look as if it's in flight.

I have seen pictures with Comanche carrying the AIM-92 Stinger missiles on the ground, deployed on its weapons pallet from its weapons bay, however were there ever live fire tests conducted with the Stinger or the Hydra rockets? I'm not sure the Comanche even fired its 20 mm cannon from the helicopter. Below is a static test of the Comanche's 20 mm cannon at the end of the video.

The Comanche program never fired any weapons from the aircraft. The cannon was ground tested.

@Dynoman - great video! Thanks for finding it.
