ATTENTION VEB PLASTICART & EAST GERMAN/DDR MILITARY AVIATION COLLECTORS! |
|
For your consideration: A Plasticart 1/100 scale Mil Mi-1 helicopter in East German Army markings, fully assembled. |
|
This kit dates from 1978, and was assembled by me, straight from the box. Originally, this was one of plasticart's first helicopter model kits along with the Mi-4, and one of the first in their line to include fine detail such as rivets and panel lines. This particular kits has some of the smallest parts of any of the Plasticart models. The kits is molded in dark green; I enhanced the detail by painting certain parts black to match the one shown in the 1974 VEB Plasticart catalog. |
|
Dimensions: Length (tail rotor to end of main rotor) 6.5 inches; roto width 5 inches; height (bottom of wheels to tip of tail rotor) 1.5 inches approx. |
|
This is a fine little model of a rare helicopter. After building a few of Plasticart's huge 1/100 civil airliners, it was refreshing to finally work on one of their finely detailed smaller kits. |
