Allan31 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I built this for an online GB awhile ago, thought you might like... I think this is the coolest looking helicopter out there and I always wanted one in the classic evil Russian garb. Starting with the Airfix kit from the 80's. Looks like aftermarket decals are needed. This was going to be an out-of-box build but the cockpit was a bit sparse to say the least so I scratched up some cockpit. I assembled the rotor on telescoping brass tubes. I had a "cunning plan" for fabricating the cannons but opted to pinch the cannons out of an old FROG kit. I scratched up some detail for the hard points on the wings and then painted, decaled and dull coated. In hindsight, I should have vac-formed the canopies. The fuselage windows are Testers window maker. I'm glad I finally have this evil bird in the collection, it came out just the way I wanted.
