1/72 Revell Mil Mi-8 T

Gallery Article by Juan Luis Daleney on Sept 8 2009

 

This helicopter was a gift from a friend from my club.  I decided to make the Russian version, I think is beautiful like this with his big red star.

The helicopter is built out of the box with no aftermarket pieces on it, but the kit comes with interior details, I decided to make the helicopter rear doors open as you can see in the picture.  To weather my helicopter, I used a pre-shading technique and some post shading on certain areas, the bad thing on the kit is the cargo bay doesn’t come with a ceiling so I added one.

Hope you like the pictures I tried to make like look like a real size helicopter.

I am a modeller from La Paz, Bolivia and here it is a little bit hard to get all the items for the building of models, but we try to do our best...that’s why I use mostly Revel paints.
