Hobby Boss 1:72 Mi-2URP Hoplite - Final reveal

Post by Radzy »

Howdy folks :)

Here comes my finished Mi-2URP :)

Kit was very nice and building it was a pleasure and fun. Had some small issues but nothing serious, so I can recommend this kit for anyone who wants to get into braille scale helicopters.

With making this kit I learned few things:
1) putting some weight on front of the aircraft just for security... is good thing :) This one has no tendency to sit on tail;
2) I need to practice decals more... still had some issues with that;
3) Need to practice clear parts as well... although they were well protected they turned very dirty after removal of masks...
4) adding simple scratch elements like belts for interior makes a real difference. It's something that doesn't need big skills but are really good.
5) Patience my young apprientice :D yeah... again my tendency to carry on without hesitation led almost to disaster when I found out I forgot to put some elements just when I was almost finishing the build... Still the main rotor mount is put ... upside down... yeah... dammit ... read the instructions C A R E F U L L Y :D

Here are some pictures :
