In the Matchbox Sky Buster range, there are a few aircraft that could probably be fettled to work... I like the Sky Safari (which has titlt rotors) and the Turbo Tornado. Both would be good options for a small, manned VTOL or large VTOL drone.

Damn, I was afraid someone would beat me to suggesting the product of our Russian friends.

I THINK the Hornet might be a bit easier to rotate the blowers into 'lift fans.'

This one is worth a shot at the price:

I got 3 and am quite pleased with them for 15mm, might be a bit small for 25 though, but no smaller then some of the suggestions made. You could convert it into a drone.

Well, the Robogear cockpits are the right size, if the rest of the craft a bit dwarf, of the super-deformed variety.

However, ugly, simple, and damn good price; that DOES seem the ticket! If only they could actually reduce shippage for quantity...

Heck, looks as if you might take a Robogear cockpit and put on the 4d ship, at which point, if you've a use for some other Robogear parts, say, a two- or six-legged walker base, they reused some of the parts throughout the Robogear series.

Sorry, now I'm probably just getting silly.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Some great new stuff I hadn't seen.

However nothing that quite grabbed my attention and met what was in my imagination.

I do like this that inso suggested
