Iain 12,026 Posted January 1, 2019 What a brilliant concept - *very* different and a perfect canvas for weathering techniques. Iain 2 mark31 and spacewolf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radders 1,774 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. 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, 2019 by mark31 5 spacewolf, Lee White, Scale32 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Griewski 2,713 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? 1 mark31 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
