exdraken Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 wow! that looks quite close to release! any more info?
Hyder H Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 when are they gonna release these 1/48 hips in stores? annetra also made an mi-17 that they said was going to be released in autumn 2016, but when i look online i don't see any in stores that sell them.
Homebee Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Annetra Mi-17... Hope you're not in a hurry as they are dependent on AMK. A company producing nice kits but definitely not famous for its respect of schedules. Patience you must have Hyder. V.P.

ya-gabor Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 It was on show at Moson today and looks very nice. Lots of parts, nicely designed. Still some way to release but when available it will be excellent. About the Annetra kit little if anything is know, who knows when it will come. Best regards Gabor 1

Uncle Uncool Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Noooiiiceee...!!! What was the country in which I saw one of these helos turned into a bus, Afghanistan? Wouldn't it be fun to get this kit in order to turn it into a 1/48th scale bus?
dragonlanceHR Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 The asking price is a bit steep for that. There is a German company that makes 1/48 transparent fuselages for RC models, maybe a cheaper option for the muj bus conversion. Vedran

flarpen Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Just received this bad boy from HAD Models today. And what a kit it is, the details are superb and it's designed almost as a injected kit with locating pins on the fuselage halves. The blades look like they have a metal rod molded inside to keep the blades from sagging over time. Very nice touch. is it expensive? Yes. But well worth the money I say. /Johan 1

Yeah, or at least until a decent injection molded kit emerges. Trumpeter should have downscaled their Mi-8/24 kits ages ago, but I guess they're waiting till somebody comes close to releasing one. 1 1

But this resin example is a darn nice one and I'm not sure I would buy a injection molded kit when I have this one in the stash already. A new Mi-24 kit in 1/48 would be most welcome indeed.
