Ich nehm mir auch mal nen Stuhl.

Welcome on board.

Thomas Kolb
Cool! This I just need to follow!

Robert Podkoński
Me too!

BAT21
I'm glad you're part of this project.

I have uploaded a few photos of Polish Mi-6 before and after restoration here:
Once there was a collection | Album by podkon ; and here:
Polish Air Force Museum - Dęblin | Album by podkon. Perhaps you will find them useful.

BAT21
👍

Ekki
Watching.

Michael Kohl
BAT21 builds a chopper? Not without me!

BAT21
Thank you very much for your interest.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Can't wait to see it finish !

Florian H.
Sehr schön, Gratulation zu diesem Ergebnis 👍

BAT21
Danke Florian.

Bernd Grün
Promising start. 👍🏻 Following with interest!

BAT21
It's nice that the audience seats are filling up.

Alec K
Solid progress 👍

Alexander Grivonev
Habe den Kit seit Jahren im Besitz, traue mich aber nicht ran. Was für ein Monster👍

BAT21
Wer bei der Tu 128 von Trumpeter alle Fehler in Perfektion beseitigt hat, muss sich nicht vor der Mi-6 fürchten.
Etwas Spachtelmasse und Schleifpapier bereitlegen... und schon kann es losgehen 😉

Alexander Grivonev
Ja das war wirklich eine Baustelle das Ding. Aber trotz des Ehrgeizes der Chinesen, dem Modellbauer auch den letzten Nerv zu rauben, sieht mir Amodel so auf den ersten Blick nach mehr Arbeit aus...

Gergő Takács
Wow! Very cool Project! I will take a seat! 🙂

BAT21
Feel welcome mates.

Michael Kohl
Starts to look like a Mil Mi-6? Well, then it's time to charge the teaser to a picture of your model. 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Joining in late, but sure worth it. Clean built on this "filling the gaps" giant. 👍

Q: The tiny "brass" colored tubes for the wiring on the main rotor head, are those bits of cut up syringe tips?

BAT21
For these parts I cut 0.5mm brass tubes from Albion Alloys.

Spanjaard
rotor head is truly impressive

Alec K
I agree, pimped to the hilt 👍

Casey Beckett
Recently discovered Albion Alloys here - lovely stuff!

BAT21
Many thanks guys, much appreciated.

CaptGPF
That rotor work is sick!
…but so is the PE cockpit work at this scale! Watching!

Alec K
Excellent progress 👍

Łukasz Gliński
On the pic #35 it looks professional, not provisional 😉

Florian H.
Sehr schönes farbspiel

BAT21
Many thanks 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Yes it is time 👍 Brilliant shading btw

Michael Kohl
Great finish

Erik
"So what do you think? Time to remove the masks from the windows?"
Yes! 👍 😉

BAT21
Thank you mates.
The self-cut masks on the side windows revealed a catastrophic picture after removal: something sticky remained on the windows... the hoped-for cover was also rather poor, the paint got under the masks at the edges. 🤬

Now I'll make a calming coffee and then try to repair it.

Alec K
Damn, that sucks. I had same experience on several builds, nothing some scraping and reapplication of Future can't fix.

Nicolas
Looks good so far.

Oliver
watching! I like this

DerMattes
Following, looks great so far!
