1/48 Mi-2 MLU

[wacek85]

Mi-2 in 1/48 from Aeroplast just after finish. Of course, in a crazy version. I've add an unguided rocket launcher and two Hellfires from the AH-64 (mounted in OH-58 style), and placed the TADS head on the mast above the rotor.
I also took the cannon, jammer, flare launcher and sensors from the AH-64. The set includes two fuselage fronts, I think Aeroplast prepared release of PZL Kania. Of course, I used the slimmer Kania front. I had to replace the exhausts because the stock ones were unusable. The whole model was also not very pleasant to build, mainly due to the thick attachments of the elements to the sprues - the sanding was terrible.
I painted the model in the style of Israeli AH-64s. The decals were weak, they were tearing terribly, I used leftovers from the Techmod kit for the Mi-24. There are no figurines, I didn't find any useful ones, if something catches my eye in future, I'll add it

That's odd, but cool.

Nice.
I like the Mi-2.  It's got this "flying shed with the engine on the roof" vibe going on.

I admire your restrained weathering.
These can get real grubby.

Oh nice one.

The Mi-2 and WZ-3 can carry some quite impressive weapon loads in real life, so that's very credible. I think I've even seen one with a gun.
An MMS would require (probably) a new gearbox with a stationary tube up the middle of the rotor shaft, but that's doable.
