Mi-28 @ Paris 1989

Holger Kranich
I love this helo!
Some of your images could be interesting to me, Burkhard!

I have two dozen more of this bird scanned when my scanner was still working. Do you plan to build this Mi-28?

Holger Kranich
I´ve got a Havoc in my stash whos crying: Let me out!;) So, yes i plan to do one this year!

@Holger
If it is the 1:72 scale model I can promise that you will have fun as there are no fitting problems and the details are crispy!
I`ve built one OOB several years ago for my neighbours son! And it was a funny and quick built!
Must have a look at my photos, but I believe I`ve finished a similar model as seen on Burkhards pictures!

Holger Kranich
@Dirk:
Do you know a kit of this helo in another (Bigger) scale (Gier, sabber, sag ja!!!)? I have the Zvezda/Dragon (Zvezda-Wie spricht man das eigentlich aus?) kit at home and it looks promising right outta the box! Only the decals look very yellowish, i need to replace them.

Philip De Keyser
@Holger, when decals looking yellow, lay them a few days in the sunlight and they turn out back in the original ones, not to long in the sunlight, but I don't think it's here a problem that we have that mutch sunlight 😉

Holger Kranich
That is a good hint from you, buddy! I´ll try that out! And you are right, too much sun is not the problem actually... Does it rain too at home, Philly?

Philip De Keyser
@Holger, yes mate it rains here all day long 🙁
But it's good waether for modelling 🙂

Looks quite like autumn outside... But the rain is warmer... Perfect for modeling purposes, you are right!;)

Holger Kranich
Burkhard, are you in Wittmund tomorrow?

Dirk Heyer
Hey Boys,
wish you in Wittmund a wonderful flying display, beautiful reminiscences to a great era and especially the best weather conditions for pretty photos!
I`ll see next days a fat photo album with pretty Rhinos here on SM!
Btw, you will meet there Oliver Peisl (Karaya and several other modeller!
I have to stay at home as my ration of air-show weekends is spent. :/

Dirk Heyer
You will see there a lot of Rhinos in retro design! Holy crab!! Pls make photos and a audio recording!! 🙂

Holger Kranich
You´ll get an overdose, Dirk!

Burkhard D
@Holger: I have been in Wittmund today. The weather was awful, drizzle all the day. 🙁
If the weather is better tomorrow, I might return, only a 2-hour drive from where I live.

Holger Kranich
Oh Burkhard, you poor guy! It was more than awful weather today! I honestly hope that I don't need an umbrella tomorrow! But I have everything at-the-ready! If you see a guy with a Flecktarn backpack with a Flecktarn raincover, wearing a dark blue Halley Hansen jacket, smiling all over his face in front of the planes, just clap me on the back and say hello!
