Hi Guy's,

I am normally a ground pounder, but am trying to branch out, I have Trupmy's 1/35th scale kit & was looking for any photos, refs, help with a Astan project.

Are there weapons sets available?? What guns were mounted in the nose & how?? Same questions for the door guns?

Any help would be much apprecsted!
Cheers Mike

For more info that you ever wanted to know about the MI-8/17, look here.

For weapons, there is a set of rockets for them on eBay, here.

Depending on when you want to build it from, Soviet era, or modern era under US/Afghan use, there are a few weapons options. For Soviet era, the nose and door guns were PKM 7.62mm MGs.



For modern ones use by the US and Afghan forces, they can have PKM MGs, M240 MGs, or M134 miniguns mounted.

Hi Gino,

Thanks for that it is a great start
Cheers Mike
