Finally - the Mil Mi-V-12

[RangerNeil]

This is a thread I thought would never be written! The Mi-V-12 is considered complete now.
* The kit is by Amodel in 1/72 scale.

* Paints used were Tamiya and Humbrol 3rd Gen acrylics.

* The interior of the fuselage, boarding ladder, ramp fingers and ramp extenders were all scratch built

* Figures are by Italeri, missile TEL's are by Trumpeter and the command wagon + auxilliary power unit are by ICM.

If it's one thing about the Russians it's go big or go home. With those rotors on it's got a really huge foot print and it all looks damn good sir thanks to your patience and skill.

Great finish and what a subject!

Thanks guys.
I'm just glad we got to the finish line without a 1-time diversion into the bin. I've got to admit - it came damn close a few times!!

While it fought you all the way, your tenacity and desire to finish it (to a high standard) speaks well of you. Glad to see it completed and fully operational, great job!

Last but certainly not least - the BIG SS-25 ICBM TEL that was meant to be tbe Mi-12's main payload.
