Mi-248 Barracuda-Sphyraena

Let the river of endless time, the Second of August - a special date in it.
After all, this day was born a century Guardsmen vertical coverage!

Greetings all! This model is planned for the day Air Assault Forces .... But for reasons beyond my construction was delayed ....
 So, I got the idea to combine the three menacing bird of our aviation industry, namely, the Mi-24, Mi-8, Su-25 ..... At first I also thought the idea of utopian, but after the initial stage, I realized that the eyes of fear the hands do! ....
Sawed off the Mi-8 cab to the ground and tail "to the ears," I proceeded to extract the Mi-24 cockpit with the pilots ..... Meanwhile, the remains of the Su-25 were resuscitated me and the proper parts, namely - vents with wings .... Ironically, the Mi-24 cockpit easily seated cabin Mi-8, leaving the sides funny "cheek" (which were later closed) ....
Engines have been borrowed from what - I do not know - the aircraft, but came good ..... So, gathering all together, I got what you see in the pictures ....... Difficulties arose in deriving smooth lines for motors and the fuselage of the helicopter ...... the whole assembly was nice, painted Tamiya acrylics, stained hud.maslom, the result pleased, but not 100% ... Enjoy ...
