Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 2:46 pm
Howdy folks 
Here comes my finished Mi-2URP
Kit was very nice and building it was a pleasure and fun. Had some small issues but nothing serious, so I can recommend this kit for anyone who wants to get into braille scale helicopters.
With making this kit I learned few things:
1) putting some weight on front of the aircraft just for security... is good thing This one has no tendency to sit on tail;
2) I need to practice decals more... still had some issues with that;
3) Need to practice clear parts as well... although they were well protected they turned very dirty after removal of masks...
4) adding simple scratch elements like belts for interior makes a real difference. It's something that doesn't need big skills but are really good.
5) Patience my young apprientice
yeah... again my tendency to carry on without hesitation led almost to disaster when I found out I forgot to put some elements just when I was almost finishing the build... Still the main rotor mount is put ... upside down... yeah... dammit ... read the instructions C A R E F U L L Y
Here are some pictures :
Cheers,
Radek
PS. Reveal video will follow later (had some issues with camera and need to record it again...)
