Andrew Perren Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Hi BM'ers. Just completed this for a GB over on ARC but I though some on here might like to see it as well. It is the Aeroplast 1/48 Pzl Mi-2 done in the markings of the Polish Border Guard. Scratch-built the FLIR and searchlight and added various enhancements. Hope you like it, Thanks for looking.

SoftScience Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 That looks great. I've never seen an mi-2 in that guise. I like it. What did you think.of the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 great stuff, lovely build, nice scratchbuilding also nice to see a different scheme than camo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thats a nice scheme. It's amazing how a bright paintjob can transform a less than pretty aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Didn't even know there was a kit of the Mi2 in 1:48. What a superb subject & build, really like this. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 These early Russian choppers have a special charm all to themselves, I think, and it's particularly well captured in this very convincing build. In brief, excellent modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Perren Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks guys. As far as my thoughts on the kit go - some parts are brilliantly done but others not so much. I'm a big fan of moulding larger areas in clear so all you have to do is mask off windows, but there are some parts that are really quite small and the instructions being a series of pictogram like drawings leave you on your own at times. Still it is an interesting subject and I enjoyed the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Perren Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Cheers guys for the positive feedback. Why did I choose a Polish aircraft ? I just have a liking for the markings and I think this scheme really suits the Mi-2. It sure stands out in the cabinet amongst the green and grey ones!

karloszejackal Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 That's a fantastic job, well done. I like the finish. I'm building the Hobbyboss 1/72 Mi2 right now. I love researching the aircraft I'm building, and this one is fascinating. Not too many 1960s craft still in service like this. It's also an amazing aerobatic aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
