Great looking conversion. I really like the rear cargo doors and the nose. Can't wait to see it with some paint on it.

continue with the MI35M:


The first major assembly is the cockpit/troop cabin/engine/transmission area, I encountered some problem to close this area, the engine compartment don´t close well, Hold the parts together with rubber bands and tape to make sure that they all fit together perfectly.
The second major assembly process is the closing of the fuselage. I encountered a number of problems with this step. The fit between cockpit assembly and the fuselage halves was so tight that I could not get the fuselage completely closed and i finished with putty.

La primera gran área de ensamblaje es la de cabina / cabina de tropa / motor / transmisión, me encontré con algunos problemas para cerrar esta zona, el compartimiento del motor no cierran bien, hay que sujetar las piezas entre sí con bandas de goma y/o cinta para asegurarse de que todos ellos encajen a la perfección.
El segundo proceso de ensamblaje principal es el cierre del fuselaje. Me encontré con una serie de problemas en este paso. El ajuste entre la cabina y montaje de las mitades del fuselaje era muy difícil de unir, quedaba mucha luz entre las mitades, tuve que rellenar con masilla.

Here's what I have MI35, decals'm hoping to finish the 17 and 35 once painted. I lost the pitot tube so I had to replace two whit  the Eduard PE set for MI8/17 (1) add a probe that does not bring Zvezda model (2) and the right side footrest (3) to what we use the same set of eduard. I welcome your comments

Bueno compañeros aqui lo que llevo del MI35, estoy esperando las calcomanias para terminar el 17 y el 35 una vez pintado. Se me perdieron los tubo pitot por lo que tuve que ingeniarmelas para reemplazarlos por dos del set de FG de Eduard para el MI8/17 (1) agregar una sonda que el modelo de Zvezda no trae (2) y el posapie del lado derecho (3) para lo que utilice el del mismo set de eduard. Espero sus comentarios

Vas a hacer una version del transporte del Mi-17 o vas a ponerle algo de artilleria o lanzacohetes? Es bueno ver aves de presa latinas aqui.

Compañeros aqui como va el Caribe. Ya con el esquema de camuflage voy a darle una mano con un verde oscuro muy aguado (filtro) para unificar los tonos, aparte que ocurrio un ataque de murphy ya que se me perdio la torre de proa y los cañones por lo que a no ser ocurra u milagro tendre que ingeniarmelas. Por los momentos espero sus comentarios y sugerencias. Gracias
Partners here as is the Caribbean. Already with the camouflage scheme I'll give a hand with a very thin dark green (filter) to unify the tones, plus it happened murphy attack since I lost the tower and cannon bow so unless miracle happen or will I have to ingenious. For now I welcome your comments and suggestions. thanks

Here the MI35 already placed embryonic wings, wheels and landing gear, I gave him a hand too diluted with Humbrol 102 to unify some tones and soften the medium green of testor. I'm coming with details, dampers, motors, and then the rotor blades.

Aqui el MI35 ya con las alas embrionarias colocadas, ruedas y tren de aterrizaje, le di una mano muy diluida con el 102 de humbrol para unificar un poco los tonos y suavizar el medium green de testor. ya voy con detalles, compuertas, motores, y luego aspas del rotor.

Good friends after a miracle and find the guns and front fairing that I had lost, I'm with the main rotor which decided last minute to remove the blades to place next to the helicopter and saw a picture of this to save space to exhibit , it was not easy but I think it was well worth it, missing a few details and complete the entire set.

Buenas amigos después de un milagro y encontrar los cañones y carenado delanteros que se me habían perdido, estoy con el rotor principal el cual a ultima hora decidí separar las aspas para colocarlas al lado del helicóptero como vi una foto, esto para ahorrar espacio al exhibirlo, no fue nada fácil pero creo que bien valió la pena, faltan unos detalles y completar todo el conjunto.
