Flankerman Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just a heads-up....... I've just spotted that Armory are doing a conversion set to make a Mi-14PL Haze using the Zvezda kit. I'd rather use the better HB Mi-8MT kit myself. I have no idea what it's like - I just found it on Armory's wesbite. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba29 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think that this is the only way that I will get to make one of these helicopters though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It cannot get to market soon enough! I sold off my Top Gun resin kit ages ago, and have regretted it ever since. I've been hoping that Zvezda would get to the 14, then perhaps HB, but I'll take one of these if nothing else! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
troschi Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Top Gun's kits are available again and look better than any muddle-through with a Zvezda base. Although, I've heard that Top Gun's fuselage is a bit too narrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I made the Top Gun resin kit a few years ago....... I could only get the PS (SAR) variant..... More photos here. The Mi-14 is based on the Mi-8MT airframe with the APU, oval exhausts and port side tail rotor - and the Zvezda kit is the earlier Mi-8T, so the conversion needs to take that into account. Like I posted earlier, the Hobby Boss Mi-8MT kit is a much more accurate starting point...... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
