swordfish fairey Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Here is my build for this one, firstly the basic kit........... Then the Eduard etch set and Begemot decals, there is around 10 options for the markings and I have not decided which one yet....... Should be a great Group Build.......

Gajman Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Welcome Smudge! It's an interesting looking helicopter, I look forward to seeing it come to 'life'. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Good to see one of these in the GB! I was going to enter one in 1/72 but went for the Hind instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Cool. Thought I had one of these, but can't see it in the stash, so I must have imagined it I seem to have a minor thing for Russki egg-beaters at the moment, so shall watch with interest and awe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Wow!, that thing looks like a flying Kenworth smudge. Russian helicopters always seemed more...... What's the word. Look forward to seeing this. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 This sould may a very interesting model. I just finished the Airfix Ka 25 and have also made a Hind so have an affection for Russian helicopters, they are certinly quirky. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Interesting choice Smudge, I've always fancied building this one in 72nd scale with the Omega cockpit. I'll be watching closely. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Interesting choice & definitely one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I got 90% though one of these, got called away for something and the sun cooked my main rotor head Keep an eye on the cockpit glazing fitment - As you can see in my build, I didn't and it's actually slightly too small and needs some milliput or similar to sort. Wing roots can be a bit troublesome as well but otherwise it goes together really nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up Breaker, what you have left looks good, have you tried getting the bits to finish it?..........Smudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thanks for the heads up Breaker, what you have left looks good, have you tried getting the bits to finish it?..........Smudge Tempted to get another kit and treat it to some resin! I rushed the cockpit and just sprayed the whole thing black without an EJ seat fitted (First model back after a 5 year break), the sun cooked the rotor head and also the front carriage. The above airframe has been relegated to the shelf of doom - If you need any bits off it for whatever reason, let me know and I'll stick them in the post.

Get outa here Dave! Any more of that sort of talk and I won't be able to get me hat on........ I'm going to be a late starter with this one as I have just started voluntary work at British Heart Foundation furniture shop in Yeovil and I have been completely shattered in the evenings, hoping to make a start this weekend..........
