Manuel Guajardo builds a 1/48 Zvezda, Mil Mi-8MT. He chose a snazzy, orange Russian scheme, even though several foreign Mi-17 alternatives tempted him. It has been a hot minute since our last superdetailed model aircraft episode, with our most recent one being Tom's Zvezda Mil Mi-24V.
Manuel will walk us through superdetailing the interior, opening up various paneling (such as the KO-50 heater) and the engines, and adding important details not included in the kit such as a deployed winch. He also adds pylons and includes four PTB-450 fuel tanks.

-1/48 Zvezda, Mil Mi-8MT (4828)
-1/48 Black Dog, Mil Mi-8 MT Hip - Big Set (A48190)*
