Mi-6 Hook Beta build
My latest design is ready for it's beta build. If all goes well it should be available for sale in a week or two from ecardmodels.com. So without further ado... here it is, the build report!
This kit is a 1/48 scale Mil Helicopter MI-6 Hook that was developed in Sketchup, Pepakura and Photoshop. The kit has 17 pages of parts. Completed it should be around 24 inches long! The MI-6 Hook was first flown in 1957, and at the time was the largest rotory wing aircraft in the world. Over 800 of these monsters were built from 1957 - 1981. I have chosen for the paint job this bird Here is a pic of some of the printed pages. Ok here are some parts... first off, the starboard main gear and primary strut And then, to give you a better idea of the size of this monster, the forward end

I barely stumble through myself. It took me about 6 months to draw the mesh. Pepa and photoshop I might do tutorials for.

You're starting to get me hooked on helos again! The Hook is a great one. BTW, I'm almost finished on the Long Ranger repaint. I'm starting another test build today.

Might have to enlarge this to 1:33 just because it's so huge to start with!

I was originally going to do it in 1/33, but there were some pieces that wouldn't fit on the page. I know not everybody has a printer that will handle 11 x 17 paper, so i decided to do it at 1/48.
More pics will posted later today, including intakes, exhaust and the center fuse...

When you release it, please use at least a 300 dpi resolution for the images so we can enlarge to 1:33 with minimal loss of image quality.
