The tiger-like one looks great. Who makes it?

Love the WW2/Golden Age Sci Fi aesthetic.  Tell me you'll scratchbuild them a dropship from a 1/48 scale B-17  :)

That would be brilliant...with a vintage style 'Hellcat' painting on the nose!

Oh my that is a splendid idea I can almost see it already in my mind.. The big radial engines (without the props)  modified as jet turbines...I would keep the ball turret and the big tail fin...
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

@vodkafan

Yeah, definitely something like that.  I'd want a more bulbous fuselage that would taper to the cockpit and tail gun fore and aft.  Massive props to either side (Looking like they are articulated for VTOL) and a ramp into the belly instead of bomb bay doors.  My vision of the craft in a sentence would be; "The B-17, Slave 1, and the Falcon have a three way and this is the love child".
