discussion SMER MIL Mi-8 Hip SAR 1991

[Guest]

Built box stock although the instructions are pretty vague. I then Googled the real thing to get close ups of particular part positions. I don't build many helicopters so although they suggest building the rotor assembly OK, but don't fit it until everything else is done including the decals. There is a full interior, and four choices of this subject on the decal sheet.

Hi Patrick
That is very nice. We don't see many helicopter models - perhaps they are fragile and difficult to display. Rotor arms droop realistically.

Thanks guys, the droop of the rotors was on the sprue, when I firstly opened the box I thought they were damaged!
Here's the interior, this again was a time when I had to find images on Google for the attachment points. You can see where I marked the holes for the rudder pedals..........



The rear seats and legs are all separate pieces.
