One model per (non-working) day

[Butelczynski]

Here are pictures of Mi-1, model nr 4170 and part of the bundle available on ecards.

1/100 snp Mil Mi-1 Bundle Paper Model - EcardModels

Based on my previous Mi-1 build I did few small improvements,some successful ones while some not so much. model on pictures is nearby 1:50 so keep that in mind. I added external gas tank and Finns and many other users installed them to extend range.

Original heli with those markings is on display in Finnish Aviation Museum in Helsinki along with another Mi-1 in civilian version,Mi-4 and Mi-8.

Enjoy pictures:

Very nice Mil, Karol.
thanks for sharing your pretty pictures.

My second build of the weekend is ready (with several alignment issues to be solved).
This helicopter could have been a steam-powered one given its name: Bell Too-Too-Too

What a sweet looking aircraft.

I don't think I numbered that one. I even think it never got a landing gear either.

on another note, this is my contribution for today.
somewhat stronger paper would have been better, I might have to redo this one (not in design, but in build).

Plasticize the landing skid assembly with superglue. Will make it much more ridgid.
