I can imagine this rolling through Chernobyl, great work!

Q: What is the Mig Ammo matte varnish like? Is this airbrushed on wet-in-wet, or in a thin dry layer?

I've recently figured out how to apply Vallejo's older glossy varnish (the older non-polyurethane one), but I am willing to try out something else for applying a matte varnish.

Bonus question: This vehicle has an odd shape to it, not too odd, but odd still with its angled side, any reason for why it looks like this with this design?

José Ramón Ruiz Díez
Thanks! "I think it will always be better to apply thin layers, waiting for the previous one to dry. I admit that out of haste, I have done the wet on wet technique more than once; I hope it doesn't bring future consequences, but the result is matte. However, in this vehicle, the matte finish is due to the Marabu varnish. I have used the ammo varnish to mix with the paints and make them transparent when applying them with a brush.

Da schau ich mal zu

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:

BAT21 builds a chopper? Not without me!

Can't wait to see it finish !

Promising start. 👍🏻 Following with interest!

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👍

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! 🙂

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.
