David Lengyel Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Yes, these sprues are made by AMK. I'm surprised with the manufacturer name though. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234981742-148-mil-mi-8-hip-avantgarde-model-kits/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lengyel Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Okay, I talked to Annetra representative today on E-day. Mi-8 Hip is molded by AMK, but the molds are property of Annetra, therefore it will be available under the brand of Annetra. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlamgat9 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Nice! We have waited far too long for a Hip in 48. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 So if this is the AMK kit, reboxed, I assume the CAD drawings are AMK's too? Looks OK to me....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no AMK 1/48th Mil Mi-8/17 kit in view... AMK is a chinese plastic model company. Annetra s.r.o. is the Czech distributor and partner from AMK. V.P.

Radleigh Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks for replying, so this is a complete new tool, 1/48th Mil-8/17 then? Lovely job... Edited October 1, 2015 by Radleigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 A long,long overdue kit. So many options, so little space! I am drawn to the Mexican Navy option though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drareg Naitsirhc Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yesterday at the excellent Cheb Model Show 2015 in the Czech Republik I had the opportunity to speak with the owner and chief of Annetra. His plans with this kit are very ambitious since there are two releases planned. One plain kit and the other will be a profi pack with some PE and superdetail options. When the sales will be satisfying, the Mi-24 Hind will follow. Since the Mi-17 is serving in more than 60 countries and offering a wealth of modelling opportunities, the sales hopefully will be good. The moulds are going to be produced by AMK, so a kit of up to date standard can be expected.. A first test shot is expected for the Nürnberg Toy Fair in February 2016. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 "When the sales will be satisfying, the Mi-24 Hind will follow." Right everyone get buying the Mi-8 when it comes out next year Andy Mind you I'd have brought the Hind out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin @ AMK Hobby Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Correct in everything you say. Annetra is our partner and we look forward to helping to bring the Mil-8/17 to market. You can be sure this is a super tool helicopter of the quality you will not have seen before. Annetra has the same passion for quality as we do so it’s a perfect partnership we think. Hind comes soon after.

Radleigh Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Martin, I'm very excited about this... Like you wouldn't believe.... I'm a huge Soviet/Russian fan, this will go very high on my to build list, I could name at least 10 I'd want to build but realistically I'll be building 3! Apart from the Mil-24, do you have any other types that you'd like to release? Obviously you can't say what 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Really looking forward to this kit.......did a fair bit of flying around the Balkans (and in Snowdonia !) in these way back......not sure about recreating the Slovak digital scheme from one of the cabs I regularly travelled on though !. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you can't say what I’m getting into Russian stuff myself but I am not the boss so I can only make suggestions for Mr Sio to consider. As far as Annetra is concerned, we don’t have any influence as they are a separate company but we do work closely together. The Mil-8/17 is our first (but not last) project together. Mi-24A / D / MS is what I would like together with perhaps a Mi-28 and Ka-226.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 An Mi-28 would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I humbly suggest the Ka-25, not as many users as the Mi-8 (still 8 according to Wiki) but a mainstay of USSR naval aviation for most of the Cold War. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkp Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 May I humbly suggest the Ka-25, not as many users as the Mi-8 (still 8 according to Wiki) but a mainstay of USSR naval aviation for most of the Cold War. The Ka 25 would get my vote too.....always thought it was an interesting-looking helicopter, with the bonus of some attractive colour schemes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks for replying Martin.... Another vote for the Ka 25 just for future reference. I'd be over the moon with a Mil-28 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakor Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 And what about Mi-8? Is there any chance or we should wait for the conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
