Hi friends,
here I'll show you my convertion of trumpeter MI-17 to MI-8T.
The bird will be VIP - Balkan Bulgarian AirLines








































Cheers guys

Beautiful work on the interior! I love the markings and paint scheme too. Really nicely done.

Best wishes,

Ian

Very nice! There will be one in 1/48th scale too they say, not sure of the release date. http://www.annetra.cz/index.php?act=5002

Yep but it's still Mi-17, not simple Mi-8 - there-re huge diferenses between two birds

Thank's guys you like my choppaa

Cheers fellas

Where the stewardess come from?

From Tu-134 passing near by

Cheers

great work.
I've never seen a conversion of a 1/35 MI-8T.

I'll be really looking forwards to the release of the 1/48 MI-17. In fact, when it comes i will have to have one of these.

Me - first, I think

Hi friends,
the progress for this evening - painted the blue lines, registration LZ-CAF and the Bulgarian flag on the tail.
After that I've detailed the small parts with AK products.
The same effect we can achieve with oil paint much tinned with white spirit or AMB












Cheers

Countinue with small details on the fuselage:

That was some quick work.

Very interesting and beautiful work you present us here. Thank you for sharing.



Jelger

Countinue with sealing the decals, chrome-ing the tank holders and detailing antenas and side mirrors:






Cheers

nice work you did on those precise pieces.

Hi fellas, today I put together the main rotor - 600+ mm wow






And at this photo I show to you where are the weakest points of side gears. I strengthen with 0.3 mm iron rod.



Cheers

Your chopper comes out really great! Hope You have a shelf big enough for this one!

Oliver

I have a 1/72 Mi-17 Hip and it can't even fit on my shelf properly, so i had to leave the rotors detached.

600mm..... wow, that is pretty big! Great work on the rotor, I am busy right now with mine for my S-55. Yours is a great example.

:)

Jelger

Hi Jelger

Decal work it's much like an paint job 10/10
Glad you like my MI-8

Cheers

Hi fellas, countinue with detailing the fuselage with oil paints and filters:















Cheers

Hi friends, countinue with weathering the fuselage,adding small details like Bulgarian Air Lines decals, and filtering with oil paints.
I also started the base - piece of wood with some paper-grind and soil on it








Cheers fellas
