Amazing engine detailing. I wish I could make my components look that good.

I'm really impressed. I've got the same kit, but it's no comparison. I can't believe it only took a day to do. Thumbs Up [tup]

Looking good so far B.

But at the same time it's depressing. It only took you a day to complete those, and it takes me that long, just to get a bulkhead fitted and sanded right. Sad [:(]

Guess that's what i get for scratch-building.

Keep us posted

That's what I like to see... jump right in there and get it going! Smile [:)]

The engines look awesome, bdelov! If this is an indication of the rest of the build, I think we're all in for a treat! Thanks for sharing your progress thus far, and we look forward to those yet to come!

Take care,
Frank

Those look like two well detailed engines to me...I'm always impressed with how well some of you detail even the components of your models. It's a great inspiration and motivation for me when I see some of these inprogress pics. Thanks for sharing.

A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

Here are the engines of the Mi-8. The are sort of finished, maybe a little more wire but I can't find my refernce book-- I work in such a mess. Well, here is what I did all day today.
