At least two "photographs" of the WZ-10 are obvious fabrications, derived from doctored photographs of the CSH-2 Rooivalk and the Ka-50-2 Erdogan

also if mongoose are doing the tiger first you can use the schimatics for the most part as its based on the eurocopter mechanicly and a tiger ;)

google lol.

all the WZ 10 is, is a tiger refabricated with a more protected tail rotor and a different payload of weapons, although there are some reports that the crew men sit nevx to each other, but i doubt that to be honest as just speculation due to the comersial copters they tested the payloads on ie the euro-copter

We are drawing up the design schematics of the PLA attack chopper in the Studio at present. Set to make the PLA even cooloer, if that's possible. 8)
Please use the armored/internal tail rotor version if only for cool factor. :D
 
well thats the real diferance between the french tiger and the wz-10 the wz-10 has an internal rear prop the tiger doese not. so its a must realy.

they use the same tail on the WZ-10 as a mass produdecude comersial copter their producing, just up armourd slightly. basicly mechanicly its a rip of from a comercail copter, a sheep in wolfs clothing armed with some battle axes.
 
The top two, as far as my sources are telling me, are WZ-10s.

Course...

yup thats one of the other prototypes, totaly based in the francgerman tiger, with a modifies tail wing, the other is as above with armoure tail rudder and internal rotor.

reason i pointed to the internal rotor was that they are already making the rotors for it, and full testing is being done on their civil fleet first, as they do the hours so a good test.

thats said the 4 blade prop is cheaper and is the direction the tiger took adn all the WZ-10 is, is a modified tiger, the copter its based on is evan the chinies copy of the europcopter that uses the enclosed rotor.

this is the eurocopter the tiger uses bits rom

you can see why the wz 10 was considering using the same tail design, but may take the tiger rout.

enclosed rotors are great for saftey reasons, but do increase profile size of tail and weight.

id like to see the MGP WZ-10 have an enclosed rotor just so its instantly recognisable from its near identiacle cousin the tiger.
 
Oh, I'd say the little wings set it distinctly apart from the Tiger (Or Tigre, depending on the country). And there's 8 - 9 prototypes.
 
The Triangular wing?

The AH-2A Rooivalk ("Red Kestrel") has retangular wings...

As far as I know, South Africa has no plans on buying the Tiger HAP.

ahh sorry thought you meant the little wing on the tail, yeah different weapon wing.

still as a modle would like to see the rotor tail version more that the conventional, both the version you show and the version i showed are vaible prototypes its a toss of a coin job id say.

but my vote is for the internal rotor as it just looks funky and wont fall of in the pacaging :D
 
it seems all the images of the WZ-10 we have been seing is

in all possability

looking deeper into this it would make sence as apparently china has been involved in making some of the components and the SA321 Super Frelon wich (poss wrong) is from the same nations.
