Dave Flitton

BAT21
Right next to my Mi-22 😉

Alec K
Another monster! I am in 👍

Nicolas
Ich nehm mir auch mal nen Stuhl.

BAT21
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.

Robert Podkoński
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. 👍

Treehugger
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.

Thomas Kolb
That's unfortunate, but maybe you can remove the tape residue with some IPA alcohol and cotton buds?

BAT21
I scraped everything off with a toothpick, more or less. Not the best result, but the model was able to avoid being thrown away.

Mr D
Very nicely done, great panel shading 👌 Brilliant 👍👍👍

Mr D
Nicely done 👍 Great panel shading 👌, Brilliant 👍👍

Guy Rump
A very good result, you wouldn't realise the issues you had. 👍

Spanjaard
seems you recovered pretty well from the problem, congratulations great result

Ekki
Very, very good chopper!
Well done.

Nicolas
Great result. 👍

BAT21
Thanks mates, much appreciated

Rui S
Excellent as always 👍

BAT21
With the attachment of the last parts and the assembly of the antenna forest, the helicopter is finished and the project is complete.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of this strenuous journey... and now have fun with the final pictures.

Łukasz Gliński
Respect for the antennas. It looks great in the taiga 👍

Spanjaard
congrats on a great model

Neuling
Top work and photos!

Ronan
Very nice, congrats 👍

BAT21
Many thanks for your nice words mates - much appreciated.

Finn
Fantastic, congrats!

Zbynek Honzik
Beautiful! I like it very much! 👏👏👏

Alec K
Outstanding 👍

BAT21
Thanks guys 😎

Treehugger
I could have sworn that Revell official website had a webpage for this just recently, but now it is gone. It looked like they maybe sold off some models there and elsewhere with preorders I think it was, so I guess it will be coming out.
I don't like pre-ordering stuff, never knowing what the retail price might be eventually. No doubt this will be a popular kit I think, but I am not buying crap either, so I'll wait for a review.

Patrik G
Seems like they did a revamp of the webpage, now it's here: revell.de/en/shop/pr..ne-type-ix-c-40-u190

I'm guessing with some PE from rcsubs it might look good.

Jan Peters
I got it yesterday, I must say it looks quite good, bar some small parts that are over scale, and the prominent weld seams.
I think it will be nice, even when built out of the box.

Treehugger
I'll wait for a review.

Chris King
RCSubs are working on replacement parts and PE for this kit.

Jan Peters
There's three reviews on the release page here on scalemates Treehugger

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here.

Alex K
Joining Robert.

Mr D
Nice interesting kit, like it. Not heard of the brand.
I've just started a Beriev be-6

Łukasz Gliński
Cool topic, joining the party

gorby
Nice work. You don't see this kit built very often.

Robert Goodman
Yeah, it was the only version I could get my hands on at the time. And sometimes I like the challenge of the older kits

Łukasz Gliński
So cool to see this one built. Still not sure what it's made of 😉 but I know it's a challenge 👍

Mirko Römer
Fabulous kit. After checking references and a visit to the Flygvapenmusem in our summer vacation I decided to stick to my trusty AK Real Colours.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Cool topic, following

Michael Kohl
I got the ol' Heller kit. Following with interest. Did you have to mix the colors or could you use them straight from the jar?

Mirko Römer
Thanks mates! I used the colours straight out of the jar, with lighter US od freckles over the lighter UK od.

Thomas Kolb
I have three of those kits in the stash waiting for a triple build, so I will follow with great interest. You nailed the colors pretty much perfect. It's quite an elusive greenish brown that looks different on each photo, and not easy to mix yourself. BTW, did you have problems getting the nose weights in place?

Finn
Following

Mirko Römer
Well, it's not too roomy. I used material for tyre balancing in nose and behind the cockpit bulkhead, appr. 15g.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Nice kit! Good pictures from Linköping 👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

You're welcome anytime! I started a seperate album with pictures from the museum.

Cool, love the B-26 and love your dio.
