  India Independence Day 

 

 

This was a long pending project.  I used an old Hobby Boss Mi-17 kit and converted it into a V5 version using Tamiya putty.

Mi-17v5 is newest acquisition by Indian Air Force in Helicopter category and all of them are being assembled at my home town. So I thought of making a scale replica of this beautiful helicopter with the cute dolphin nose.

Most of the parts were used from the kit except some antennas and nose which was made from putty. Local Acrylics were used to paint the model and in-box decals were used.  Little weathering job was also done on it . 

As a whole, I enjoyed building this model. I hope you like it.

Jai Hind!
