Wondering how good this kit is, will follow

@Lukasz, this kit is not bad. I have done some scratch, like seat belts, collective pitch levers, panel and console due to missing details on cockpit. The Hobby Boss SH/HH-60 family is the good one 😉

Watching.

Villiers de Vos
Nice work on the instrument panel. very nice progress.

Michael Kohl
which version are you going for?

servalpe
@Michael. UH-60A with desert scheme - Gulf War»Operation Desert Storm.

Stephan Fässler
Love it

Cristian A
Nice, taking a seat

Mr D
Coming along nicely, like the extra touches you have done, HB can simplify a bit.
I just purchased the Zvezda Mi-8, will be my first helli.
Top stuff will keep an 👀 on this build.
😀👍👍

servalpe
Thanks guys for your comments and likes. @Mr D, I will build, HB Mi-8MT next year, but I will mix with part of Zvezda 7253 (Mi-8MT) if I find one 😉.

Mr D
I know there running a bit short on them at min, l found my one on Amazon... being sent from Germany, l think it's maybe some kind of trade sanction going on with Zvezda being in Russia??
Good luck with your build 😀👍

@Mr D, I found one on an Spanish website and I am going pick up it today 😉. I have also got some aftermarkets from an Spanish scalemate.

Mr D
Great 😃👍
Servalpe, My Mi-8 arrived today, looks really good, box is big for 1:72.
I have a Diorama in mind 🤔.
Good luck.

@Mr D, the box is the Zvezda small one. The HB kit is better than Zvezda one. It's has more accurated, has detailed external parts and cockpit. The advantages of Zvezda is that has seats and doors for cargo cabin and weapons supports ( I will use this parts) and has raised rivers. HB model has not any rivet.

Hi Servalpe,
Ok thanks, sounds like you can make one good one out the two kits ?
I was considering the HB one but l liked the idea of the kit being from Russia for my planed Diorama... I'm going to do a Chernobyl disaster Diorama, with the Mi-8 dropping the sand n lead bags on the damaged core.
There is a guy on eBay selling the 3d printed damaged power station.
It will be view looking down from Mi-8 as station is small.
Some UV led's be nice for the core.
The Blackhawk is looking really good 👍👍
I'm build the HB IAR-80 at min, it's been ok build so far. Instructions bit weak !! But nothing that isn't obvious. If lm ever unsure l watch YouTube vids
Thanks for the advice n good to hear about you ideas for your mi-8 build 👋😃👍

servalpe
@Mr D I have added a new project with Mi-8

Hi,
Kein Thema. Ja die Seite ist nicht unbedingt für Anfänger. Aber viele gute Modellbauer da.
Ich hab dir über WA eine Nachricht hinterlassen.

This might be the quickest build I've ever done. From idea to here in two weeks. Some small things left before it's finished, and of course a base. The camouflage is supposed to look like the Zebra scheme on the later Dutch NF-5 fleet. Did I get it right?

Jan Janssen
That would have been a cool KLU option!

Patrick Hagelstein
Cool!!! 😄

Ben M
TIL what a Tarsier is.

John Kristoffersen
Hi! Wonderful project - good luck and hope to see pictures of your build here. If you don`t plan on using the RNoAF Tiger decals, I am interested in buying them.

Cheers,

John

Giacomo
Thanx for your appreciation, sure we can arrange some trade after the build, keep in touch
