There are some old kits that age gracefully, and there are those that don’t. It’s kind of fun sometimes to look at the really weird and bizarre stuff, and there isn’t much weirder than some of the kits that came out from behind the Iron Curtain in the ‘70s!

Long before A-Model kitted it’s various versions of Mil’s first “superchopper”, the Mi-6 hook, another company had a go at it. Thankfully, the KVZ 1/75 Mi-6 Hook wasn’t the last version of this important chopper in plastic! The A-Model stomps all over this one, although the KVZ has a certain “Trabant-chic” charm to it! I just hope it’s not made of the same plastic/cardboard hybrid; just handling it could be health-sapping!

If you really want to see something so bad it’s awesome, you must check this thing out. You can almost tell it’s a Hook, but just don’t look too closely!
