DOLPHIN NOSE a.k.a. MI-17A-5 a.k.a. CH-178


Recommended Posts

Just a small update, yet I have to mention that a set of mask arrived. It was designed by Mr. Lazar , the owner of the AML company and it is absolutely finely cut, super tiny and incredibly precise . 

BIG THANKS TO MIREK !
:)

I tried to take a picture, somewhat difficult with my cellphone, however I boosted contrast and magnified the thing a bit , so you guys can see what. I am talking about.IMG_0706.thumb.jpg.822a07540625ea551c21612e191cce3c.jpg

So,.................... I have been watching this process very closely.................... Martin, what kind of epoxy putty did you use? I have a hankering to do the old Revell 1/32 scale Bell 206 Jet Ranger, BUT the nose section is EVERYTHING wrong....... I am thinking , that I could maybe, just maybe make it look like something with the same epoxy putty you are using here, BUT I am not sure what to go buy, could you.............. when you have time, give me a clue  ( that came out wrong ) give me an idea of what to look for and see if I can get here in Nelson, please? NO hurry, but I should start to think a little bit on this idea...... might be on to something here.....

Hi Jeff. The yellow thing is Tamiya putty. And the grey stuff is Apoxie. Apoxie is hard to get, but Tamiya is readily available in BC. F09AE1A5-4A2D-4ACE-87E9-7E9F25101F20.thumb.jpeg.32699503d758481aa083382948c479e4.jpeg

Thanks Martin, I'm going to have to find a source who will mail it to me...... I will start sniffing around.....

Just came across this thread as I’m going to start my own Mi-17 in Canadian markings. I was very interested in this build but unfortunately the updates ended before completion. By chance does anyone know the correct colour used on these helos? It looks like a beige/reddish colour. It looks similar to Vallejo Model Color 70.804 Beige Red (FS 31433) from the only two pictures available. 

Thanks in advance.
