Mark Deliduka Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Hey everyone! These are two Russian Helicopters I built for a Group Build in Modeler's Alliance. I got these from a friend for helping him with his warehouse and they are both in 1/72 scale. They are short run kits from Russia, and had no interiors, so I just blacked them out. I also painted and marked them as Russian Army helicopters using spare decals from my spares box. They may not be accurate, but they look good. I'm sure happy with them. This first one is my Russian Mi-10 Hook; the Russian answer to our Skycrane. What a gangly looking thing on that slim, delicate framework that makes up the landing gear: This next one is my Mi-6 Harke. This was one big helicopter! To give you an idea of how big this monster is, here is a shot of it next to a standard Ex-acto blade and handle: That's all I got done so far; I also completed some trucks which are in the Armor Forum. Feel free to go by and check them out too. Meanwhile, thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Mark Deliduka Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks Mark! More on the way.
ghodges Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Nice models! And by the way Duke....they make replacement blades that fit that handle ya know.... GIL
Mark Deliduka Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks guys! I appreciate the great comments. Gil, that handle is hardly worth having a new blade. The collet is plastic, and semi-soft plastic at that. It barely holds a blade well enough to use. That's why it is my 'example' blade.
