an old work horse in the east - Mil Mi-8

[Impisi]

OK, some days ago I started this

yes, I know, why bother with this old KP stuff, well I do like these old plastik junk and I have several of KP kits still in stash. This one in particular I'm building in a group build on UAMF in memory of a recently deceased member who built almost exclusively helicopters and it's the only Heli in stash.

That's where I am now

All this interior is most prob for nuts as the tranparencies are not the best

Had to google UAMF https://uamf.org.uk
We really don't mind promoting other forums, as long as you're sharing. Do they allow non airfix kits?

Good start Martin.

Sorry, had forgotten to put in the link, Thanks. Any kits are allowed there.
It is a small forum. I joined there somewhere 2006 or so and then rejoined after my big modelling break like here. And like here I changed my name because my old account (mail and other was hacked). These two places I call modelling cyber homes.

So now this starts to look like a Heli, not

and some little detail on this one, ready for painting I'd say

If it don't look heloish I don't know what would look it.

Thanks a lot Gentlemen!

it's going slow at the moment, I'm sorry ... I had some time on weekend but will be absent the coming week or two.

So, this is where I am now

Thanks for looking in

Looks great so far. those weapon pylons don't look very robust but who am I to say what works.

Excellent progress on a not-easy-to-build kit!

 

[Impisi]

Thanks a lot gentlemen!

So, after a week of absence, I had a short session with the Mil yesterday. He got some color

OK, some decals and then the rest and weathering ... only one thing I have to find - some weapons. There are some weapons in that kit but those look like anything but certainly not rocket launchers.

Thanks for looking in
