Whitey 1,051 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Cool Mark. Good to see a chopper on here. mark31 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Iain 13,303 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 What a brilliant concept - *very* different and a perfect canvas for weathering techniques. Iain mark31 and spacewolf 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Radders 1,849 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 If you need any info or photos, the Mi-8PS is at the ex Motortechnica Museum, Bad Oeynhausen in Germany. Also, if you're building it how it is in the photo, a Mi-8PS is very different from a Mi-8MT. Should be good either way, can't wait to see what you do. mark31 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes i know there are great difrences but for me iff it looks like on the pics i will be happy im not a rivet counter so just going to change the tail rotor and windows the pic is just a guide on how i hope it will look like when done lets call it artisic freedom Mark Edited January 1, 2019 by mark31 Scale32, Lee White, Radders and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Griewski 3,599 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Great concept. You should have no trouble finding products to weather the beast. Are you going to mount it to the other junk in the photo? mark31 1 Link to post Share on other sites
