Martin @ AMK Hobby 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? The release will be the Mil-8/17 in the same box I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman 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? Which 'Mi-8' do you mean ??? There are two (maybe now 3) generations of Mi-8. The first was the Mi-8T - with the tail rotor on the starboard side. Export versions were also called Mi-8T (Finland and East Germany) The second generation is the Mi-8MT - with uprated engines, port side tail rotor and other changes. Export versions were called Mi-17. So, a Mi-8MT and a Mi-17 are one and the same thing - there's a long explanation over on ARC. Here's a graphic wot I did showing the differences..... Mi-8T 1st gen..... Mi-8MT/Mi-17 2nd gen..... Ken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin @ AMK Hobby Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) 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. 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! 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. I will send this information to our partner Annetra and to our HQ for information. I can’t make any promises of course I can only forward this for you. edit: Information sent to AMK and Annetra.

stakor Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Hi, yeah I am used to export naming. There is now only Mi-8MT/Mi-17 to be released so I was wondering if Mi-8T will be also available or we should wait for the conversion. Also as there is Mi-17 maybe it's worth to think about Mi-14PL/PS. Thanks, P. Edited December 17, 2015 by stakor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Pavla did a resin conversion set for the 1/72 Hobby Boss Mi-8MT kit - it needed a completly new engine decking.... It is quite different..... As for a Mi-14 - that would require a complete new fuselage, sponsons, undercarriage etc.. It isn't my scale, but if it was I'd purchase loads of the Mi-8MT/Mi-17 kit to convince Annetra that kits of the Mi-8T & Mi-14 would be commercially viable.

bentwaters81tfw Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I was given a 1/48 ish 1st gen MiL 8 over 40 years ago, along with a Yak Forger, by a Russian friend. Quite basic, white plastic, pink rotor blades and the clear parts were all tinted green. Long gone. Be good to have an up-to-date issue. Raspberry Ripple methinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 CAD's look great, I really want to do a VIP version with the squared off windows... I'm guessing we won't see that version? Not to worry if so, it'll be a fun conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurent Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Detailing looks gorgeous but the riveting of the tail boom halve junction areas is messy (1, 2).

Otakar Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I will get at least two of these. Even if there are mistakes in the kit but hopefully there won't be many bad ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin @ AMK Hobby Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Possibly but not finalised yet I don’t think. There may be some small changes to the kit yet. Ladislav at Annetra is wanting this finished asap anyway. Hopefully Q3 - praying.... Edited May 2, 2016 by Martin @ AMK Hobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
