Iain 9,757 Posted January 1 What a brilliant concept - *very* different and a perfect canvas for weathering techniques. Iain 2 spacewolf and mark31 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radders 1,593 Posted January 1 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. 1 mark31 reacted to this Share this post 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 by mark31 5 Jack, Scale32, spacewolf and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
