Vitor CostaHello
Thank you for your kind workds. I finished it this afternoon and it already with the owner (this was another under commission build) 🙂
It was a fun build with some issues but nothing truly difficult.
I hope you like it.

Sebastijan VidecNice work Vitor! I wonder if the gunship version really had a normal passenger seat arrangement in the cargo comparment
Michel HuijgheVictor
You didn't sleep again much did you?😉
What type of wash did you use on the whole model?
C Marques de SáOlá Vitor, muito interessante, excelente montagem! Para quando o início do outro projecto?
Burkhard DExcellent build and painting. Too bad Hobby Boss screwed up on the main rotor hub (1:48?)
Andy W.I guess 1:144 or 1:72 Scale in the max, by the comparison to the paint.
Burkhard DI mean the rotor hub that is far too big, not the kit (which is 1:72)
Andy W.Ah, Ok. Now i see what you mean. It looks really out of scale. I was so stunned from the Paintwork that i didn't mind that detail.
Łukasz GlińskiPity there's no replacement for the rotor widely available (by Eduard, Aires or some other company), only the TopGun one:

Vitor CostaHello friends! I think this was my first post here 😄 4 Years ago!!! Time flies...
Thank you for your nice comments.
Album info
The Mi-2US from Trumpeter is a nice surprise, some progress are being made by the chinese brand. Being better that other there are some issues that look very hard to solve, all the "ghost marks" (probably for other versions or variants), the lack of information about the colors, confuse instructions... some lines that almost disappear etc etc... only go tive you an example, in the box the "subject" of this box appears all painted in green, well in the painting instructions... its green and blue, like the Soviet version!!! Lots and lots of hours on the internet trying to find what is correct... the box art or the instructions... well the box art is right, i didnt find any picture of this version with the blue, but... i i found other errors... well not bad at all if we only look to the quality of the kit, in the others aspects they still have a lot to improve, and please give to the modelers better and correct building/painting instructions!!!
well im going to put some pics here soon
