Mil Mi-6

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Another 1/100 kit from VEB Plastikart ,,,, saddly not finished.

Zsolt Czegle
Awesome! 👍

Bernhard Pethe
Very interesting, what one can make from such an old kit. 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Lovely livery, real pity you can't revive it 🙁

Interesante proyecto....

It's a shame it's irreparable, it was looking so good. I've always been fascinated with huge Russian helicopters.

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Thanks folks .... I'm thinking about the Eastern Express 1/144 kit ... hummmmmm

Alexander Grivonev
Beautiful paintjob! But the writing on the fuselage, the three "words" make absolutely no sense, just a random sequence of russian letters...in case that you want to use that on your 1:144 Mi-6 again😉

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Alexader ... tks for your help .. as far as I remmender i took these words from a picture in airlines.net ... I'll check it ... Tks anyway ....

Nikolaos Kouzinis
It' s an enormous giant heli, nostalgic and rare one!!

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Indeed ... It's a very big beast ,,, When I saw it in the flesh in Riga I found it awesome ,,,,,

For the guys living in western Europe, in 2014 & 2016 I saw one as well in the Flugausstellung in Hermeskeil, Germany. flugausstellung.de/index.html I've got one photograph of it, I just don't know how to add it to a post. If you're interested, sent me a PM with your email adress.

Łukasz Gliński
@Martin: Probably you have to create an album and link it here in a post - at least this is how I used to do it. Many many thanks for the Flugausstellung info, didn't know about it. But now I'm gonna go there as I'll roam around Trier in June.

This can't possibly be the one you were sanding in the bathroom years ago when we first met!!!!!

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Yes it is... the very same "monster"

Josu Arévalo
Hohohoho, never thought I would ever see it built!! Good job!

Great album – I can see you did quite a lot of work to improve the basic kit parts!

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Alexander , I've sjut come across notes I took when building this kit. The log should read
Tyumen Avia Trans in cyrilic ,,,, but I guess I was wrong
🙁

Alexander Grivonev
Julian, i guess you mean this one:

Тюмень АВИА Транс

Yeah, it looks kinda similar but then again it is not. It is difficult for a "non-cyrillic" person to distinguish the letters from a blurry photography. Is it really beyond repair after the crash?

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Yes,,,, that very chopper . Saddly is beyond repair.Anyway as you can see , the model is quite "imaginative" and is not very accurate. I've bought a 1/144 kit from Eastern Express . If I can get some light about the lettering , may be this will be the deco chosen.
