Tank Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 And I was doing so well not getting any new kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 This is fantastic news for us 1/48 helicopter modellers :banana: :thumbsup: I had a 1/50 multi coloured piece of crap Mi-8 made in Russia (I think) that is long gone, thank god. I think I melted it down, it was so bad. I was even contemplating buying the Trumpeter 1/32nd kit just to have one in a bigger scale. I know the Zevda 1/72nd one is nice but no interest in that small scale. I can hardly wait. Wow going to be an expensive year :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Oh yeah, this is definitely on my list! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I can't wait for this kit. I have been waiting to do this bird for almost 10 years. Edited March 24, 2016 by dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If it's as nicely done as the other AMK kits I've seen it will be something to see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I'm really looking forward to it. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 My favourite version of the Hip is the V5, hope they release this too, and make an A-Stan AF bird. Looking forward to see this. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huey_crew_chief Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I cant wait for this thing!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 AMK said they are running these molds after the F-14 kit so I wonder how many pages long this thread will be by the time we see it? 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 From Annetra here are some views of two production tools. Look forward to what comes out of this! Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huey_crew_chief Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I have given up on this..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Work is progressing as far as I can see. My Czech language knowledge is not that good (Zero in fact apart from Ahoj ) but it seems that here is the very first test shoot of the kit. Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huey_crew_chief Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 When is this supposed to be available? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Since AMK is dooing the tooling . . . Just have a look at any pages concerning the F-14 Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huey_crew_chief Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 So, no time soon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Have no idea at all. Lets hope that the F-14 is not something to go by. This Mi-17 has been in works for a very long time so lets hope it comes out soon. The first test shoots are done and on a Czech site there are more photos including the strap on side fuel tanks. They look good. Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Until we can order it, in stock, I will think of it as vapor ware til then and keep my expectations low. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Clearly the Mil 8/17 is not as popular as a certain other kit AMK is working on as I noticed Jennings started both threads before he was long ago banned.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I believe it will be a different story from the AMK F-14. Work is progressing really well, so I for one look forward to see the kit! Based on photos there is some nice details included in the kit. Lets keep fingers crossed! Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remember this is not an AMK kit. It will be from the Czech Anettra company, AMK is only doing the tooling of the press forms. Some new photos of the first test shoots. The weld lines on strap-on side fuel tanks are made as they should be with raised lines. This is the small fuel tank with 3 braces. Obviously the real plastic in hands will be interesting and real test of the product but based on these photos it looks like there is a chance for optimism. I know what I will be building from it!
