Looking great.
Resembles a Chickasaw.
Based on it but larger.

Hi Chris,j
Great stuff.
How much bigger than a Chickasaw?
Cheers,
Bigkev

Here are a couple of dimensions for you Kevin.
The Mi-4 rotor dia. 68ft and length 82ft
The Chickasaw rotor dia. 53ft and length 42ft.
So quite a bit larger.

That's a lot bigger. It must have been dam impressive.

On one of our next meetings I'll bring both models so you can compare.

More progree on the model. Floats assembled and mounted.

I like the look of that.

That looks good, for a helicopter, that is!

Completed. A bit of filling was required but overall not bad. The green is a Tamiya (XF13) paint and the blue a Mr Hobby(67).
I had to buy some additional decals as I don't remember whether they were in the kit or I'd lost them.
The figure is just for scale.

zak · March 13, 2021, 04:14:02 PM

Looks good. Judging by the figure, the thing must have been enormous!
