Mi-17 complete
Posted by Swanny on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 8:38 PM
This is the 1/35 Trumpeter Mi-17 Hip. The interior was seriously worked over with lots of scratch built wiring and major seat improvements, the cargo cabin is fully decked out with flight crew stowing materials. The engines are fully detailed and the main rotor head is detailed. I started this build at the beginning of February of this year and just finished it tonight.





I'll have the construction review updated on my site tomorrow with lots more pictures.

Very...Very nice!

She looks really good Swanny. Just the right amount of weathering.

Great work Swanny!

Too bad you can't see the figures on the inside, but from what I can see they are nice too!
BTW that's one thing I hate: you make un-human efforts to get outstanding interior detail that you won't be able to see from the outside once the model is done!

Yes but I know they are there and that is part of the reason I take so many in progress pictures. However if you are actually in the presence of the model and have a flashlight  Whistling [:-^]then you can see quite a bit of the interior on this.
