Floggerman Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 IMHO this kit is undervalued. Interesting subject, easy to build, good level of details - it was a fun! Weak points are the interior (more or less fictitious) and the Russian decals (black outline instead of blue). I used the following AM stuff: - Seats: Quickboost - PE (FOD, wipers): Brengun - Decals: Begemot Color by Akan. The copter was seen in September 1991 as a part of 830th Ship-based Antisubmarine Helicopter Regiment in Severomorsk-2 Hope you like it, I do... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken from NJ Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I think over a month in this forum without critiques tells you that you have a great looking build here. And since you stated this kit was interesting, easy, detailed and fun... that to me is the most important aspect of your project. Congratulations. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it really is because of that! Awfully quiet here these days... A magnificent model! One of my favorite choppers of which I've always liked to make a model. Wonderful finish and beautiful markings from just the right period. I would be glad to see more of the cockpit because at least the seats look great.

Berkut Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 This one went under the radar for me, glad it got bumped up again. Really great build and dont see too many of those. I suspect the reason in part is the price which seems to be on the high side from what i have seen. But really nice and clean build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Gotta love the Helix. Nice build. Don't know about the background, though. Could use a pic from a calendar or something like that. The build would surely deserve it. Edited April 25, 2017 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 MUCH better, don't you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbryon Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Nice build - if I were to suggest one improvement it would be paint demarcation between the tyres and the hubs. I really want this kit but they hugely over-priced it, so I unless I see one on a good sale or second hand, I shan't be buying one :( Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Oooh, just like Berkut I missed this one when if was first posted, but I am glad it got bumped back up. Great job, this is a really sweet model! I have one of these in the stash and I really look forward to building it. Thanks for letting us know about how it builds.

Jack Here Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Looks like it built very well. It's a cross between a food processor and an espresso machine. Almost steam punk. Lovely painting. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Todd Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Excellent build !! Gotta love the concept, no Tail rotor. Now Lets see a Ka-52 from the Revell Ka-50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
