The opening is a bit too narrow but I’ve done something that I think looks OK. I just rounded the outer corners of the blades and painted them overall grey in the end. I didn’t even put trim tabs on them. It’s not the focus of the model and I have to wrap it up by Sunday evening. No more pics until it’s finished! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 I think we are finally ready to board: More pictures in the gallery. Thanks for an interesting GB and thanks also for looking in. The P1127 will be making an appearance in the next KUTA GB! Regards, Adrian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gallery? and where is it? and why is not posted on the usual RFIs? We want to see more photos of this magnificent Russian lawnmower and to look at people standing closely together!

I kid you not when I say that is not really easy to find (I finally did). Why these builds do not automatically link to or post along the usual RFI main section? I may have missed tons of good builds since only by chance and very seldom I get to GBs. I have been a member for three years and this compartmentalization still feels a bit awkward. And yet may be I am the only one that doesn't know where the pub is in this town. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 The group builds are squirrelled away a bit, now under the 3D printing section, but I’ve learned to get here by typing “Brit heli” or “Brit MTO” in the browser adddess bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Outstanding result Adrian. I really, really love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpthedog Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Great result Adrian. Really like it and when you consider what the kit started out like, the completed model shows great work. You opened the side vents and I did the grilles in the top - should have done both! Next time I am really tempted to do a civil version from the KP kit which I think is fairly available. Well done again. Edited October 18, 2020 by Jpthedog 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 3 hours ago, Jpthedog said: Great result Adrian Thanks JP. Civil Mi-4s seemed to come with round windows (like yours), square windows (like mine) and big rectangular windows for a VIP version, with lots of different schemes too. There are some great photos as well, including one where they are trying to load a reindeer, so if you want a slightly different diorama...! I won’t be building one of these again, I’m quite sure. It really did creep up on me - I was just going to stick it together before my P1127 build and do a green and blue scheme with stars and a number. Sometimes a build just runs away with you, and this was definitely one! Thanks, Adrian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaddad Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Orsum, I know what you started with which just confirms my initial diagnosis. Due to the magnified photos you don't really get a true appreciation of how small this is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
