Scooter Man Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Okay so I've pulled this kit out of my stash and plan to start assembling it shortly, however as I was checking out the parts I noticed that there was quite a bit of raised detail on the rotors. Not being familiar with this particular helicopter I'm not sure if this raised detail should be left as is or should I try and sand it down a little bit to make it less pronounced??? Thanks, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It is a bit overdone - but it is quite easy to sand it down so there is just a hint of it left.... Just sand it one way - towards the tip - on a flat surface. If you try to go backwards and forwards with the sanding, there's a danger of bending/snapping the blade - ask me how I know I did it on all three of my Mi-8/17/18 builds.
