Wayfarer 30 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I was watching Expendables 2 when i saw the Mi-8/17 with a Mi-24A greenhouse looking canopy and larger wings i am used to seeing. Is this a production variant, or one for the film? I know this was filmed in Bulgaria so i was assuming it is a Bulgarian version but we all know where assumptions lead us. Can our real Mil Experts fill me in? I cannot post an actual screenshot of course but please pm me for a detailed description. like this version and want to model it if it a real version of the aircraft. Thanks for all response.

Tank Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It's not a Mil product, it is a modified BO-105. http://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=The_Expendables_2 There is an number of kits in different scales to choose from. I think regardless of the kit you will have to make the wings. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Sure looks like a modified Mi-8/17 to me. It looks like a false greenhouse canopy and false stubby wings w/weapons were added to make it look like a Mi-24 Hind A. Edited February 4, 2014 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkmouth Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sure looks like a modified Mi-8/17 to me. As Gino wrote, it is the Mi-8. From the same link to imdb, if you scroll further down, you'll see the Hip entry. Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
