Two kits. Same kit number and type. Two different box sizes... :hmm:

I assume the first plastic has been cut and glued?

Both same/same....I got the smaller boxed one from... :hmm: Squadron or Sprue Bros. The bigger box came from Ukraine. The seller even included a Ukrainian "dollar"!

Yah, sure!!!
I'm half tempted to throw in the "A" (green house) version as well....but not highly likely!

I think i'll receive the A version next week, then follow for tips :)

The boxes differences are about the new zvezda package (larger are the late type).

Been a long time, but I finally got somewhere with these...

Pretty much nothing but the area where the rotor mounts will be visible. There's a good amount of detail, that could easily be enhanced, if one was so inclined to open up some panels...I am not!

Every time I see the way you paint a cockpit, I want to send you mine, lol. Helicopters are yet to grab hold of my modeling mind, but your work gets me very excited by the possibilities in 1/72.

Excellent work as usual Fermis :shoutout:
I can recommend about fuselages to not follow instruction sequence. Imho best way is to glue half fuselages together (nose and tail) before final assembly

That is definitely my plan, as the setup they have never seems to work out great(with any kit). I've already discovered that I'm going to have to do a little trimming somewhere, as the fuselage halves don't quite meet up around the engine area.
